Can these be used in conjunction? Seems like a powerful combo, especially if you have something like Relentless Shield to let you use Mounted Combat any number of times.

I do not know what Relentless Shield is , but . . .

You can use the Ride skill to gain cover from your mount (note you can't take 10 in combat unless you are a Rogue with Skill Mastery in Ride) and then attempt to negate the hit on your mount with the Mounted Combat feat.

Relentless Shield is a class feature of the Ashworm Dragoon, from Sandstorm. The ability is unclearly written, but it seems to allow the use of Mounted Combat beyond the limit of once per round.

I woudn't say it's unclearly written. It seems pretty straight forward that, rather than only being able to negate one attack per round with Mounted Combat, it allows you to negate any number of hits instead.

It's not terrible, like some other abilites, but it could be more clear.
