Although considered gimp (which translates to overly effective), you will want some dismount strategy. With the current skills, that means bola.

You can actually get away with 100 Taming, 98 lore (two points gained) for 100% control of both the mare and dragon (or rune beetle).http://noxins.net/flash/misc/controlcalc-alt.swf

Why not a rune beetle? Even after the PvP "fix", it is still twice as good as a dragon.
