[QUOTE="wuyanei, post: 2700706, member: 28913"] Well, I would require that the character obtain (capture? commision someone else to capture? use G Info to see if anyone is willing to do it for them) the untrained animal somehow. For the training fee needed to get someone else to train the animal for you, I'd use the DC times days required times 1 sp -- basically treating H Ani as a profession skill check. For the Combat Riding (DC 20, 6 weeks) trick package, I'd say that it would cost about 20 x (6 weeks x 7 day/week) x 0.1 gp = 84 gp to get a well-skilled 1st level expert (take 10 +1 Cha, +4 ranks, +2 Animal Affinity, +3 Skill Focus = 20) to do the task for you. BTW, if you look at the cost difference between pony/warpony, LtHorse/LtWarhorse, it is about 80 gp as well. That migh be where to cost comes from.
