Only time you need Stamina on a mount, is when Zos adds horse racing to game.

I leveled mount skill for all 8 of my toons back when the skill was tied to the specific mount, rather than a global mount skill for your character. Hence, I was able to level all 3 skills daily, using 3 imperial horses, whose progression then got merged together when the game changed over to B2P.

I never considered bothering with stamina back then since it would cost other stats. I would rather get knocked off my horse and die in Cyrodiil than move slowly. Since your horse continues running full speed when you hold sprint and run out of stamina, felt even less useful in PvE zones.

I don't. My answer will change when a 16th chaacter slot opens up.

For me, increased inventory space is the most valuable of the three, followed by speed then stamina.

With carrots and hugs... I'm a softy when it comes to animals.

I usually focus on speed at first, then I alter between stamina and capacity until everything is full

I only have 3 characters, all 60, 60, 60, all with the Dark Brotherhood passive to decrease aggro range while mounted.

I leveled them all Speed, Capacity, Stamina.

I trained one horse with speed to max, then put the rest of the points into stamina, one horse with max stamina, then put the rest into capacity, and my third horse to max capacity, with the rest of the points into speed. I also had three other horses that were trained in order to have two of the three cosmetics applied each. Then the stats were combined and applied to every mount. Haven't done mount training since. If I were to waste time on that for an alt, I'd almost definitely train speed, then capacity, then stamina, because it's the most practical order.

Originally, I trained Capacity first, because my bank wasn't upgraded, but after I got it upgraded, then characters I started afterward, I did Capacity last, starting with Speed, because without the speed, I felt like I was trudging along & could barely move my feet.

By beating it... regularly... it's undead, so, ya know...

For PvP purposes

I really hate having to log in to each toon to upgrade my mounts, it'd be nice if Zos had a feature so when you are upgrading one you can instead choose to pay a gold fee to upgrade all toons mounts at once.

I also wish there was a way to quickly bring the mounts for all toons up to the same level, it's painful running round on a fairly fast horse on one toon then finding another toons mount practically goes in reverse with how slow it is.

very slowly

For PvP, speed to 30, then alternate between speed and stamina.

Something relevant that I completely forgot up until now - stamina doesn't do s***. It's really only there to stop from getting knocked off your horse by getting hit by an enemy - it uses up stamina instead of knocking you off. You can sprint forever on a horse even without any stamina upgrades. So when you use all your stamina up from sprinting, whether you've upgraded your mount stamina or not, you're in the same position of getting knocked off your mount - if you manage to even enter combat and get hit, while sprinting through the fields at mach 5 with your maxed out speed.

So stamina is borderline worthless, for anyone curious.
