How about having a race track/jumping course where the horse can get experience and be a champion! I'd love to have some competitions based on us working our horses...

We at least have the track/course, but either the horse (and rider!) doesn't learn or it don't actually work. I'd love to see it expanded beyond one room, though.
And we have the Steel Claw Clan arena (which appears to actually work), we should be able to 1)joust in there, 2)fight with our horses there, and 3)fight against horses and horse-like critters.
J'Lo, no that other one

Only problem then is that it wouldn't really be you bonding with your horse... presumably you could have a 2nd level bond with a horse you just bought as long as you have 100 AL.
Animal lore definitely needs to both be learned through horse interaction and actually serve a purpose other than titles.

Animal lore serve a purpose??!
Now thats just crazy talk, come on now its intended to be one of those skills that sounds really nice but does nothing.
But give us race tracks and the ability to breed horses like rasing the little companions for rangers and make animal lore part of the whole "breeding a champion" adventure and I'd actually work the skill beyond the 35 I needed to get my wolf.
P.S, the Animal lore titles are sort of nifty tho...

For a ranger, it also serves a nice peripheral purpose--you can use it as your primary lore skill for circling, which is grand because it's both very simple to train and gains at a primary skill rate.
I hope they come up with many other benefits for the skill, though. C'monnn Team Ranger.
Oh, and I hope some of those benefits are cross-guild, not just ranger-specific. If a non-ranger SOMEHOW trains animal lore up past 200 or so, they should have something to show for it.

<<Because they learn it at a prime rate?I would love the precedent though.secondary skill learned at a prime rate and still useable for circling.>>
Lore is tertiary for rangers.
And the reason it's treated as a primary skill is because it's particularly and especially within the ranger's sphere of influence, moreso than any of the other lores. I don't see why that same reasoning wouldn't also apply to making it circling-applicable.

At the moment, it wouldn't be an issue because learning it can be such a pain. Down the line when Animal Lore has more options to learn it by, I can see some issues. The only way to balance allowing Animal Lore (which is learned at a primary rate for Rangers) to count toward a tert skill requirement would be to increase the overall requirement for that tert skillset.

It may be more helpful to the Ranger team if the discussion of Animal Lore and Ranger circle requirements be continued in the Ranger folder. I just used "Ranger" 3 times in a sentence...
