Pathfinder 1E A Couple Mounted Combat Questions

mwnrnc

First Post
These questions are for 3.5/Pathfinder:

1) Is there any feat or class ability that will allow me to make a full attack with a melee weapon on a charge? What I'd like to be able to do is charge and deliver a single attack each to several foes that I pass alongside.

My understanding is that I can charge or use Ride-by attack and get a single attack, or if my mount moves less than 5 feet in a round I can full attack, but that I cannot otherwise get multiple melee attacks while mounted.

If this is impossible with RAW or published rules, does anyone know of a solid house rule for this?

2) Is it legal to charge an unmounted foe head on, attack him (and avoid AoO) with Ride-by Attack, and have your mount initiate an overrun/trample on the same target? I'd like to skewer an orc with my lance and then ride him down to make sure :)

On (1), its not charging, but the Mounted Skirmisher feat lets the mount move full speed and you still get the full-attack:

For (2), wouldn't the Charge Through feat let you overrun them as you used Ride-by-Attack (assuming it was successful and you didn't have to stop)... I guess they would get an attack of opportunity on the mount though. Any way to give your mount Improved Overrun (do you need some minimum int to learn a feat)?
