I'm confused about one aspect of mounted combat as it applies to NPCs.
As far as I can tell, the rider and the mount share move actions.
Suppose you have a 1st-level soldier-type mounted on a horse. A horse gives a rider a bonus to damage on charge attacks. The horse also has a trample attack, which enables it (as a standard action) to move through enemies' spaces, dealing damage and knocking them prone.
The rider wants to charge an opponent, then use trample to run over other opponents on the field. Is this a legal combo?
If the rider/mount combo charges someone, does the horse still get to attack?
