Synced Animations

I would like to "mount" a girl on a horse.
While the horse runs, the girl's animation should be synchronized with the horse's so that she appears to bounce up and down with the saddle.
In our previous game, we tried to this with another engine but after some period of time the animations lost sync and the girl was bouncing down when the saddle was going up, etc.
#1: Would Torque have this problem, and eventually lose animation syncs in this manner?
#2: Assuming I put a mounting point on the horse and mount the girl there, how would I set her animation? I can do it the hacky way by modifying the engine but surely there is a more basic way (building from the FPS Starter kit, no "mounting" animation found).
Thank you.
