The numbers in AR don't really work - it was published a bit early in the games history, before people really got to grips with how easy it was to have characters with 'run fast 3W2' and such. Treat the numbers there as more akin to the old runequest idea of fixed intelligence - it allows you to know how the different animals relate (as it is pretty self consistent) but for actual use in the game, you really ought to make up numbers that are correct for your players, the story you want to tell, whether you want heros who can outrun a horse (and if they have W2 in it, why not?), etc.
Cheers,
