Here is my Quicklist Guide to the Horde Side of the Pet Trainer Intro Quests. This is a quick reference to see what type of pets you will need to defeat the trainers easily. On Trainers who have the same type of pet for all 3 pets in their party, I would recommend you bring at least two pets that are the opposite type (i.e. bring three appropriate leveled Mechanical types to fight three trainer Beasts). Don't rely on fighting all three of their pets with just one of yours, despite the fact that they will have stronger attacks and defeat them quicker.
1st Tier Horde Trainer Questline (Starts in Kalimdor)To defeat these trainers with maximum efficiency, you will need pets of the following type:

Longneck level 3 giraffe (beast)
Springtail level 3 antelope (critter)
Ripper level 3 cat (beast)
Probably the easiest way to get to her if you don't have a flying mount is to go up the little hills (preferably 54,54) by Thorn Hill, then head left til you see her on top of a small cliff, around (59, 53).

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Zunta, The Pet Tamer
I can tell you have been honing your pet battle skills, <name>. I think it's time for you to take on a real challenge. Zunta can be found near the Tor'kren Farm south of Orgrimmar. He is an up and coming wild pet tamer and I think it's time you faced him in battle!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Analynn
Determination is naught without proper challenge. Find Analynn wandering the roads in western Ashenvale. She is a bit...eccentric...but a fine trainer nonetheless! Fighting her will harden your team.
