Under paladin and Divine Bond it states:
This mount is usually a heavy horse (for a Medium paladin)
Question, what is a heavy horse and how is different from a normal horse ?
Feel free to mark it as a FAQ canidate so we can get an official faq answer.
Yes i have seen many say that but thats just a subjective opinion not an official rule.
As you say if the horse is not heavy the word should be removed , if its supposed to be heavy it should tell what a heavy horse is. As its now it states its a heavy horse but its nothing heavy about it if it just uses the druid horse companion stats.
The Aging Trumpet, my (fully updated) copy of the CRB states "Horse" not "Heavy Horse". Where did you see that it was a "Heavy Horse"?
However, to answer your question, a Heavy Horse is a Horse from the Bestiary with the Advanced simple template, a 1d4 bite attack, and 1d6 hoof attacks. This is stated in the Bestiary on p177.
Edit: Here is the quote from the CRB.
The second type of bond allows a paladin to gain the service of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal steed to serve her in her crusade against evil. This mount is usually a horse (for a Medium paladin) or a pony (for a Small paladin), although more exotic mounts, such as a boar, camel, or dog are also suitable. This mount functions as a druid’s animal companion, using the paladin’s level as her effective druid level. Bonded mounts have an Intelligence of at least 6.

My CRB is a september 2010 printing, whats your version ? Latest version i assume, as you say fully updated:) Interesting, that would indeed solve the question

This wouldn't be the first time the PRD has been inaccurate which is why I use the most up to date copy of the book rather than the PRD. :)
