So. I was thinking to myself, "What's an interesting character concept?"
I Perused. I browsed. I Thought. Then I smiled. I saw a picture of an Alaskan Malamute doggie. Then I said, "These things can haul 3k lbs. So, A mounted Halfling-a-din, In full plate? Yeaaaahhh. Let's do that."
Let's optimize. Matter of fact, let's make this a contest.
I'll edit in my attempt in a moment.
Rules:
Level 10 max.
Any Template you want, however, size must not rise above small, and may not have more than 2 templates. (This includes things like Dragonborn.)
No Magic Items.
MUST BE A HALFLING.
Must Ride.
May have up to 2 flaws.
Elite Array Stats.
No Spell Compendium Spells. (They just plain make me jealous.) Edit: Yes, I'm aware that this is just complicated lists of spells form other splats. Let's change that to say, "SRD Spells only."
Victory goes to: They with the highest raw damage output. (This will be graded in 3 segements, Air, Ground, Charge.)
Anyone Down? Post a Reserve slot first. I'll see when we should end the thread tomorrow or so.

Strongheart Halfling

Lvl 1 Power Attack
Bonus Spirited Charge
Lvl 3 Improved Bull Rush
Lvl 6 Shock Trooper
Lvl 9 Improved Unarmed Strike

15 Str = 14 Str

13 Cha = 14 Cha
12 Con = 12 Con
10 Dex = 12 Dex
8 Int = 8 Int
Abilities
Aura of Good, Detect Evil, Smite Evil (3/day) Divine Grace, Lay on Hands, Divine Health, Turn Undead, Special Mount, Remove Disease 1/week
lvl 3
Tougher than Small (Ex): When a Wary Swordknight is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), she is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to her. A Wary Swordknight is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature's special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect her. The benefits of this class feature stack with effects that change her size category.
This benefit replaces the standard paladin's aura of courage class feature.
Lvl 6
Haste (Sp): At 6th level, a Swordknight becomes able to use a haste effect on herself once per day. Her caster level for this ability is equal to one-half her paladin level.
This benefit replaces the 1st-level spell slot gained at 6th level, as well as the remove disease class feature normally gained at 6th level. From this point forward, a Wary Swordknight has one less weekly use of remove disease than normal.
Spells Per Day = 1(Lvl1), 2(lvl2)
Ride = 13 (+1)
UMD = Cross Class = 2 (+2)
Possessions: MWK Lance, MWK Spiked Gauntlets, MWK Guisarme (The tripping halberd who's name I always forget.) MWK Full Plate, MWK Sling, MWK Bullets
Ground : Guisarme 1d6+3+(PA)(Shunt to AC)20=1d6+23 (Allows Trips. 24 - 29) (FA= X3 (Haste.))
Air: Sling 1d3+2 (Slings add str mod.)
Charge: Lance 1d6+3+(PA)(Shunt to AC)20 X 3 (Spirited charge) =3d6+69 (72 - 87)
