Yes and no...
The unit can be simulated, so to speak, but that specific is unuseable while
in the transport.
Let me see if I can jot down an example...
Just as an example below is a generic "archer" unit, followed by a horse and
then two skills.
Unit

Self_remove_skills=longbow
|script_flags
unloads_transport
unloads_transport_message The archer dismounts from the horse.
unloads_transport_sound dismount.mp3
remove_aditional_description archer mounted
Ok, notice that the horse unit has attack points, but no attack skill.
When the archer uses the mount skill, that longbow skill is added to the
horse. Now the horse is technically "carrying" an interactive unit. As long
as you use separate mount and dismount skills for the different units that
can use a horse, then a horse could carry a swordsman, a knight, or even a
wizard.
Any kind of specific skill, effect, or passive skill can be transferred in
this way, as long as the horse has the points present already.
I use Monkey's additional description script flag for these kind of things,
s;o if you choose to use it, you will have to add his scrips flag name to
the map pack settings file.
I hope this works for you.

is it possible to have an archer mount a horse and still be able to use a

Transforming involves using script flags. These are listed and described
isdepth within the data for TB/DOCUMENTATION folder. Craig brett scripts
overthe one that has that particular script flags you need. Look them all
getthough, because they are a great resource for map pack building. Also
was areally familiar with Ian Reed's map creator guide.

a few things. here are a list of units I have thought up: meaning i have
text files with there names
swordsman- basic foot soldier with sword
knight- swordsman that turns into this. better than swordsman
archer- basic ranged unit.
marksman- archer turns into this. better than archer
watch guard- basic wall guard
sentinal- basic wall guard turns into this. better than watch guard.
Horse- basic mount.
War horse- better than horse, horse turns into this.
Stables- where horses can be recruited.
extra info- Knights and marksman can mount horses.
Now if I could get some help on transforming horses, into war horses,
archers into marksman, and so on, would be very helpful. Another thing I
need help on is making the horse, I copyed the blue dragon file as it
