Cohorts are 2 levels lower than you, so it would be a level 7 druid. You probably won't find anything better than that, but you might check what the ECL is on an Asperi. They're flying horses from MM2 (I think). Pegasi are ECL 6, also. So you could stick a class level on one of those.

Make a horse undergo the Rite of Rebirth in Races of the Dragon, then give the the Flight option?

This may require Awakening the horse or using a Headband of Intellect.

I was going to suggest something similar.  You could awaken an Animal, and then give it levels in druid.  That way you would have a cohort with druidic goodness, but without the weirdness of riding a person around.

Awaken adds 2 HD, so it would kind of suck for a druid. An Awakened horse with the Dragonborn template sounds pretty freakin' cool, though. Have it take the breath ability from Dragonborn, and then retrain its feats for Dragon Wings and Improved Dragon Wings feats, and also Entangling Exhalation. That would make a kick-ass mount with no LA... well, unless the DM assigns one for Awaken. You'd still have a level for sticking a class on there, too.

There are things like that in Dragon Magic (or was it RotD?) called drakkensteeds, which you can select as special mounts. Dragonborn paladins get some kind of bonus.
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Wasn't there a magic item (Horseshoes of something or the other) that gave you broketastic bonuses to a horse?

I remember it being discussed on these boards not long ago.

Yeah, I forget what it was called or where it was from, but it added all kinds of insane bonuses (like a +10 to Int) for a cheap price. I think it only worked for actual horses, though, but that could be fixed with a decent UMD check...

Heh, variant on the Psicrystal Hat trick.

Be a Halfling with 1 rank in Ride.
Cohort is Whatever 6, with an LA of +1, from being a Large Race.
Ride it.

Ogre ... Muush !!

If you're a Erudite with spell to power imitating Minute Size, you can ride your own psicrystal.  I think

I forget how spell to power works, anyone have the original reference?

Not sure how well this would work as I can't actually find the template at the moment for specific game rules, is add the 'air element' template to something and then go from there.  100ft fly is tasty.

Hmm... do you mean the Orglash from the Unapproachable East? That can be added to any creature with the air subtype, or something like that. Anyway, the genasi qualify, and it gives them alot of the abilities of an air elemental, IIRC.
