Let's say I am armed with a lance, and my mount has greater overrun (see below for the feat). We charge, knocking an opponent down, provoking on AoO from us both (we will ride on through, but that isn't really relevant to my question). My horse hits the guy with a hoof, but I don't think I can get an AoO because I am wielding a reach weapon and the opponent is adjacent.
What can I do so that I benefit from that AoO?
I think armor spikes will do it, but I don't like the flavor of that since I am on a horse and the opponent is prone.
I couldn't kick him as an AoO because I don't think natural weapons threaten unless I have the improved unarmed combat feat.
Would a blade boot work? I like the flavor of that better, and it is on my foot, which is close to the opponent. Is there anything else I can do so that I benefit from that AoO?
Thanks

Here's the feat:
Greater Overrun (Combat)
Enemies must dive to avoid your dangerous move.
Prerequisites: Improved Overrun, Power Attack, base attack bonus +6, Str 13.
Benefit: You receive a +2 bonus on checks made to overrun a foe. This bonus stacks with the bonus granted by Improved Overrun. Whenever you overrun opponents, they provoke attacks of opportunity if they are knocked prone by your overrun.
Normal: Creatures knocked prone by your overrun do not provoke an attack of opportunity.
Here's the blade boot:
Blade Boot
Blade boots come with a spring-mounted knife that pops out when triggered with the right combination of toe presses.
Benefit: You can use a blade boot as an off-hand weapon.
Action: Releasing the knife is a swift action; rearming it is a full-round action.
Drawback: When the blade is extended, you treat normal terrain as difficult and difficult terrain as impassable.
Anyone want to speculate why this post still has gotten no love a day after is was posted? Is there something silly about the question or something?
What can I do so that I benefit from that AoO?
Threaten the foe.
Improved Unarmed Strike, armor spikes, boot blade, barbazu beard, spiked gauntlet (if you're using the lance in one hand), boulder helmet, natural weapon, or anything else with a 5' reach.
Thanks for the response! That is kind of what I was thinking to get the AoO. Of those, kick works best thematically, but it's not worth a feat, so I guess I will go with boot blade.
