Is it possible to select a mount a reward i.e. a mod gives you a pick of any item of your level plus 1 from any player legal resource ?

I would say no. A mount is a creature, not an item.

I know that in at least one LFR module, a Giant Ant (mount) is one of the bundles. It's a heroic tier (L1-4) module. My thief(wizard class) took it.

No. Mounts are not magic items. Even if the reward were simply "Any item of level X", while we can extrapolate from their purchase cost, mounts do not actually have an item level.

I thought you had to be the same level as the creature to buy it. i.e. a hippogriff dreadmount is a lvl 5 critter so do you not have to be level 5 to buy it.

I believe the level is to indicate what level a character has to be in order to use the creature's mount ability (assuming they have taken the mounted combat feat). Unfortunately I don't have my books to hand to double check.

The other problem is that while, yes, you do have to be the same level or higher than the mount to use it, the mounts' cost does not follow the same scheme as magic items. Also, rules-wise, there is a relationship between item levels and character levels, however item levels and PC/Monster levels are not the same thing.
The only way to take a mount is if it specifically offered through the mod rewards.
Sorry WOTC, you lost me with Essentials. So where I used to buy every book that came out, now I will be very choosy about what I buy. Can we just get back to real 4e?

Mounts have a creature level. They do not have an item level.
A hippogriff is a 5th level creature. It costs the same as a 9th level magic item.
A dire boar is a 6th level creature. It costs the same as a 6th level magic item.
There's no universal connection between the level a mount is as a creature and its cost when compared to magic item levels.
