I did notice that the player was standing while in the buggy. Armor::onMount() tells the player to use a mountPose (set in the vehicle datablock) if one is not supplied it defaults to the root like Ivan mentioned. You can hardcode the onMount() method to force a sitting or mounted thread.

The horse not animating I can't speak for as that could be a problem with the implementation -- I've got horseback riding in a project of mine, but I repurposed the "player" class as a vehicle in order to make use of the move animations.I did notice that the player was standing while in the buggy.

...are you using the 'buggy' DTS and it's animations for a vehicle other than 'wheeled'? If you're using a 'hoverVehicle' to hack a 'ridable' mount...then I would venture to say it's in the art not containing the correct setup for the Class object...??!!
I smell much hacking/new code to break a working DTS shape and datablock Class...!
Perhaps a little more 'backStory' on what you're actually doing....?!
Your 'horse' not animating.....might be because the 'wheels' of a vehicle rotate by hardcode, not a animation 'sequence'...but, if you've scripted something....see how 'tricky' it is to help without knowing what you've done/intend to craft the solution.

...during the 'gideon' & 'buggy' portion of the video, I do see the 'spring' animation NOT playing...I see a wheel translating up/down, 'steering'[left/right], but not the 'shock' geometry doing any animation....are you using the 'buggy' DTS and it's animations for a vehicle other than 'wheeled'?

i expect this problem relate to Vehicle Object...
i tell you what is backstory
my horse is Player Object.
somehow do this. make Horse object(class player) and
use SceneGraph Mount Node system ( Player attach to Horse mountnode )
sry about confuse to everybody :)

Enel, player script will automatically make your player call an animation defined in an array on the vehicle datablock. Refer to game/scripts/server/player.cs(Armor::onMount), and game/art/datablocks/vehicles/defaultCar.cs(mountPose[0]=sitting). the mountPose[index] corresponds to the animation played when a player is mounted at node number=index.

In pickActionAnimation() ,there is a clause isMounted(),that sets the root animation for all mounted players (and aiplayers respectively).
