Do Animal companions and Mauler familiars (or familiars in general) count as combat trained for mounted combat?
They don't need to be. They're a fully sentient creature and can attack what they want to or carry what they want to.
They're a fully sentient creature
Familiars are. But does that apply to Animal Companions too?

Oh right
Animal companions need to be combat trained.
Under handle animal
Combat Training2 (or “Combat Riding”) 20
Combat Training (DC 20) An animal trained to bear a rider into combat knows the tricks attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel. Training an animal for combat riding takes 6 weeks. You may also “upgrade” an animal trained for riding to one trained for combat by spending 3 weeks and making a successful DC 20 Handle Animal check. The new general purpose and tricks completely replace the animal’s previous purpose and any tricks it once knew. Many horses and riding dogs are trained in this way.
So as long as you have those tricks you're good.
Familiars are fully sentient creatures yadda yadda.
Kewl :) thanks.
