Mounteds are indeed a problem I reckon (that charge being a bit hefty) but against mages maybe there's a solution.
Aren't their boots available which grant Flying ?
When being able to pop up in base contact with the mage right away, wouldn't that be helpfull ?
Is there not a chance that spellcasting is interrupted when somebody's hacking in on you ?

Yes, but the AI usually puts bodyguards on mages, although you can get lucky against human players.

Also, the defender goes first, meaning the mage gets off at least one spell, possibly a nasty one.
