The feat, since you did not post the text, and it pretty readily answers your question:
Benefits: When charging an opponent while mounted and wielding a lance, resolve the attack as normal. If it hits, you may immediately make a free bull rush attempt in addition to the normal damage. If successful, the target is knocked off his horse and lands prone in a space adjacent to his mount that is directly away from you.
Emphasis is mine. I can't see how someone would land "in a space adjacent to his mount" if no mount is at all in the equation.

Sorry, I put the link to the feat there rather than try to type it all out on my phone. The feat says what happens if used against a mounted opponent, but RAW doesn't specifically prevent you from using it against an unmounted opponent, it says you may attempt a free bull rush attempt and if it's successful it unseats them in addition to the bull rush.

No, the feat says what happens if you are successful in the attempt: the target is knocked off his horse and lands prone in a space adjacent to his mount.
Seriously, I think you are trying way too hard to make something that is very simple and clear into something it's not. If you want a feat that does what you're suggesting, talk to your GM and ask for that feat to be created for you -- but don't confuse a bunch of people who may run across this thread.
There are a lot of feats where the wording is really sketchy or ambiguous, and it leads to some really good questions.
This isn't one of them.
