The mounted challenge ability says it works for cavaliers riding the companion and replaces shared spells, but cavalier mount class feature doesn't get shared spells. As of now, cavalier mounts don't qualify for the archetype and only times cavaliers seem to benefit off the mounted challenge ability are if riding an animal companion that belongs to another character or it obtained an animal companion via multiclassing (not with the Mount class feature) but that seems rather weird.
Oops!
You are absolutely right. I missed that note in paragraph 2 of the mount ability for cavaliers about no share spells.
The question then becomes what they *should* exchange for the ability, and one answer could be nothing. Simply add a specific exemption for cavaliers, like:
A cavalier's mount gains this ability automatically when selecting the charger archetype even though it does not have the share spells ability.
I don't know that cavaliers are so overpowered as a class that this would be a big problem to add an extra benefit for them, but I'd have to take a closer look at the archetypes again to suggest anything different.
Just a suggestion.
What happens with this if a Paladin wants his mount with this archetype?
