"you must move to the closest space from which you can attack the opponent." seems to be defining the destination of the movement.But even if your interpretation is right, it works when the there is a point in which both the mount and the rider can attack.Assuming the mount has natural reach of 3 (can attack 1-3 squares away) and the rider is a medium-sized humanoid with a lance (can attack 2 squares away only). In this case, if your interpretation is right, the mount can move to the space 2 squares away from the opponent. Then both the mount and the rider can attack.Assuming the mount has natural reach of 3 (can attack 1-3 squares away) and the rider has natural reach of 3 with a lance (can attack 3-4 squares away only). In this case, if your interpretation is right, the mount can move to the space 3 squares away from the opponent. Then both the mount and the rider can attack.But usual horse-riding human knight with lance still cannot make a mounted charge by RAW. Because the horse must move to "the closest space from which you can make an attack" and that space is adjacent to the opponent. And thus the knight cannot use his lance.And, a large giant with lance on a huge mount with natural reach of 2 (like frost giant on mammoth) still has the same problem, too.</blockquote>
