During development, it was intended that all three active party members would have mounts of their own while the Inquisitor was riding. While I haven't seen a specific explanation for why this was removed, I suspect it was one of those things that had to be sacrificed to make the game run on older consoles.
Anywho, what if this feature had bee left in and you could assign a mount to each companion?
Cassandra I think would have the Ferelden Forder. She strikes me as the type to respect a breed that's hardy but not much on frills.
Blackwall would have the Free Marches Ranger, since he's a Marcher and it would remind him of home.
The Iron Bull would ride the Greater Nuggalope. Partly because I'm pretty sure the nugs would be the only mounts capable of holding him, and partly because he would love riding something that's also known as the "Deth(sic) Nug".
Varric I think would prefer the Battle Nug because I suspect he would find the name funny.
Sera I think would go for the Desert Lightning. She strikes me as the type to go for something unusual on principle, and the Desert Lightning's description seems like it would appeal to her.
Cole would probably be drawn in by the skittishness of the Hunter Shade Dracolisk.
Solas would go for the Wild Hart both due to its connection to the ancient elves and its nature.
Vivienne would demand the Orlesian Courser. Nothing less than the finest Orlesian horse for her.
Dorian would love the Imperial Warmblood, partly because it's a Tevinter breed and partly because of the fun he would have with the prince on a white horse imagery.

Considering Vivienne's lack of humanity, it is far more likely that she would be the mount. You might need to use a whip to get her moving, however.

I have never really seen most of the mounts even for the Inquisitor. They are all locked out. I generally ride the first horse I get or that black and white horse from frostscale. I often mount a companion instead of Inquisitor for a change. I'd give the Charger horse to human characters, and the smaller one (avatar I think) to everyone else.
I wish you could swap mounts at camps. Unless you could, and I just did not care enough to click on stuff.

Actually, I think Dorian would like the Bog Unicorn. Morbid/dark/dramatic things appeal to him, and he has a couple of lines referencing unicorns. (I know it's not a real unicorn, as the horn is a sword.)

What this thread needs is screenshots of companions riding the suggested mounts in the game.

Ha! Love that someone else was thinking about this!
I figured Bull would go for a dracolisk, since he gets particularly excited by dragons.
Varric would need a mount that won't give him a hernia trying to climb. Hmm...the nuggalopes do look rather comfortable.
Vivienne would prefer something eye-catching, magnificent, memorable. Maybe one of the harts?
Sera has mentioned being creeped out by nugs so nuggalopes are a big NOPE. For some reason, I see her with a painted horse, probably because of the mismatch color scheme.
Dorian definitely fits the Imperial warmblood.
Cassandra would prefer a sturdy, reliable mount so I see her with the Fereldan Forder.
Blackwall using a Free Marches mount seems fitting.
Solas would want a standard mount that won't stand out. I'd put him on a Dalish horse for laughs.
Hmm...might change my mind as time goes on.

Here is Blackwall riding Charger in hopes it inspires folks to post pictures of their suggestions:
