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

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.
