Instead of a macro I'd recommend the addon Gup Pet. It gives you 2 buttons - one to randomly summon a mount and the other to randomly summon a minipet. You can even go in and customize the lists of which exact mounts you want to include in the randomization in case there's a couple you don't like.

Heh, I used to be the same way. x) Then once you start finding addons you just can't stop. :lol:

Gup Pet is a nice simple one to start with though. ^^ Easy to navigate, useful. :D

Are you asking:
  • How to install it?
  • How to get it to work after installed?
How to install it: How to use it:
  • The addon will place two icons on your screen with red square corner anchor markers
  • Use the corner anchor markers to click and drag them to an out of the way location
  • Clicking the left icon will summon a random mount (appropriate for your location)
  • Clicking the right icon will summon a random companion pet
The addon works rather nicely :)

Cowmuflage--
Did you see the Installation Guide page? It has a step by step instructions for how to install it in WoW.

In a nutshell, once downloaded:
  • Exit World of Warcraft (if running)
  • Extract/expand the downloaded file to a temporary folder, using a product such as winzip (if Windows) (it will consist of 3 GupPet related subfolders)
  • Copy or move these three subfolders from the temporary folder to your World of Warcraft Addons installation folder ".../World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons"
  • Launch World of Warcraft
That should do it.
