The talent from the book is limited to Armor, weapon and shield, Animal was added on in the bestiary as a sidebar.
I have strong feelings on this particular topic along the "play the same game as everybody else" front (that I may have harped upon in the past)
I dont think we had any official ruling on that other than those points, we did have a long discussion about just allowing anything.. but I dont really agree with that.
Technically, the talent from the book lists horses as examples that aren't Armor, Weapon, or Shield for heroes from the Hinterlands.
As for allowing other items, for the campaign, it should generally be limited to those. However, I tend to be on the other side of the fence that if you want to use Heirloom to gain an Exceptional (though not mechanically different) version of any item under 75 Gc, go for it.
