Off the top of my head, no idea. I'll check Complete Warrior, Complete Champion, and Complete Divine, and get back to you. Let this answer serve as a placeholder until then.



EDIT: Ok, I'm back. I checked Warrior, Champion, and Divine, and no prestige class in any of those stacks with Paladin levels for determining the level of your bonded mount. Nor could I find such a prestige class in any of my books.



Upon checking the crystalkeep Prestige Class Index, I saw that there was a prestige class, the Knight of Holy Shielding, that progressed the special mount, and that it could be found in the August 2004 issue of Dungeon Magazine. So I pulled up my August 2004 issue of Dungeon Magazine (sometimes it scares me, how much D&D stuff I have) and gave it a look. At every even numbered level, the Knight of Holy Shielding gets a class feature that takes one of two forms- they may either advance the effective level of their bonded mount by 1, or the level of their paladin spellcasting by 1. Overall, I don't think it's a good class.



There may be a prestige class that stacks with paladin for your mount in some book I haven't checked, maybe a campaign specific one from Forgotten Realms or Eberron, but you'll have to look for it. If I haven't found an appropriate class by now, with the kind of resources I've got, you'll probably have to accept that if you want to play a multiclass pally, your pet horsey isn't going to level up with you. Sorry, bro... Err, sis.



If I were you, I'd just take Draconic Leadership from Draconomicon, and ride around on a Wyvern.



Update: I took one last look at my sourcebooks, and I found something for you: The Triadic Knight, from the Forgotten Realms book Champions of Valor. First level of the class gives you a special mount, stacks with the pally mount if you already have one; you add your paladin and triadic knight levels to determine your mount's stats. So, it's pretty much exactly what you're looking for.

stay with the paladin. they have sufficient status as that is. It takes a undeniable sort of participant to deal with a paladin, so stay the direction. think of of your character as a guy or woman and not a pile of statistics. Your character's archives is in straight forward terms a string of numbers. Step into the region and be the guy you're playing. That finally ends up in a much extra friendly place playing adventure.
