Hello friends,
i have several questions regarding summoners riding on their eidolon. Eidolons are smarter than typical riding animals so they can act more freely and independent. Correct?
1) Is the summoner riding the eidolon with all possibilities, advantages and disadvantages or is he only present at his back and both act independent?
2) Are riding actions like "guide with knees" still necessary for the rider?
3) Do the eidolon and summoner act on the same iniative roll?
4) How many actions do the eidolon/summoner have? Due to the fact that the eidolon has INT7 it can act freely? So it can act normal but the summoner is limited to move equivalent/full/standart actions because he want to stay in the sattle and can not move.
5) What about the feat "mounted combat"? When an eidolons acts freely (with a rider on his back) does this feat work normal?
..
I have more questions regarding mounted combat but i will stop for the moment. I really do not understand the rules O_o
Thanks for your help.

1) The interaction between a rider and an intelligent mount is a little odd, so that's hard to answer.
2) The rider doesn't need to guide with knees. He/she can simply ask or command his/her mount to act. As far as other ride skill options... I don't know. I'm sure the summoner could fast mount/dismount, but others uses aren't so clear.
3) They still act on the same initiative.
4) The eidolon-mount can act normally. If it moves more than 5 feet, the rider can only make one attack (or take a standard action, I assume). If the eidolon-mount provokes AoOs, so does the rider. The both need to make Acrobatic/Stealth/etc checks when one is called for.
5) No idea, sorry.
Not much help. Hopefully others will chime in with more answers.
