Horizon Walker

Because who knows what a first level ranger has met? maybe giants killed his parents (it's why we have backstories etc.)...

For Horizon Walker however it's a PrC and so it would make sense that if you had never been to a place within game time then there would be no reason (other than meta-min/max'ing) to start taking the PrC. If you haven't roleplayed going to areas then you wouldn't exactly be a "Horizon Walker" would he?

I've got desert in my back story. It's where I was living when the giants killed my parents.

Even more: Having grown up in the desert makes perfect sense to get the HW's ability. Having watched his parents being killed by a giant is absolutely no reason for inflicting more damage to giants.
