This is probably very dumb, but where in the rulebooks does it list what tricks the animals purchased in the PHB (Warhorse, riding dog, etc.) normally have already at purchasing time? It's probably somewhere obvious, but my brain's gone to mush.

It is in the Handle Animal skill description.



Combat Riding (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 six weeks. You may also “upgrade” an animal trained for riding to one trained for combat riding by spending three 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. Warhorses and riding dogs are already trained to bear riders into combat, and they don’t require any additional training for this purpose.




Riding (DC 15): An animal trained to bear a rider knows the tricks come, heel, and stay. Training an animal for riding takes three weeks.
