I am thinking of making a dwarven cavalier or paladin.
I would like an alternate animal to a horse. I would like to put together a riding ram like in World of Warcraft....or a riding boar, like the mount Dain had in Battle of the Five Armies.....
How would I go about changing the size of a ram or boar so they are big enough to be a mount for a Dwarf with the Pathfinder rules?
Thanks

Rams and Boars become Medium on lvl 4, so you can use them then with Undersized Mount.
A friendly GM may let you reflavor another animal companion (for example auroch or war bull, or some kind of megafauna) as a some kind of dire ram, suitable for riding.
Otherwise you may look for magical ways to permanently enlarge your mount (item with a permanent Animal Growth is an obvious one, but it would be expensive).

Undersized Mount, as others have said. Dire Collar can make your companion bigger for a minute, pretty cheap if you wanted to buy a bunch and just use them during combat.
I second reflavoring another mount. In terms of similarity, a Styracosaurus gets all the same abilities as a boar (llv, scent, gore, ferocity). Just call it a dire boar. There's nothing quite the same as a Ram (nothing else gets improved bull rush) but a Megaloceros is pretty close.
