I've looked through the APG, and I can't see a strong reason to deny it.
The Eidolon isn't Unfriendly to the player, it's a quadruped of the same size as his default mount, and if the Cavalier can ride a wolf or other 'fantasy' mount, why not the Eidolon itself?
The debate arises since the CAV 2/SUM 2 player was having his wolf AND his Eidolon AND his summoned monster cluttering map space and (in the words of other players) dominating the combat.
They suggested he just ride his eidolon as his mount and ditch his wolf--an idea which he found amusing (probably because his eidolon is essentially a pink & purple version of He Man's 'Cringer' battle tiger and his wolf is...just a wolf).
Even though the APG Cavalier entry states what should be used for a halfling mount, I can't see what would prevent my player from being able to hop atop his Eidolon once it's in play, regardless of whether his wolf is now riderless (and/or out of play).
Thoughts?
