Quick mount questions

1. Do all mounts start off with the same stats regardless of price?

2. How many different ways are there to improve mount stats?

1. Technically, all mounts start without any stats of their own. But yes, all mounts regardless of price are the same. None have an advantage over the other. In ESO, it is your characters who train to improve their individual riding skills, not the mounts that are trained.
2. Just one. You go to a stable and pay the stablemaster 250 gold to train your character in either speed, stamina, or carrying capacity. You can pay to improve your character's riding skill once per day and each area can be improved 60 times. This means it takes a minimum of 180 days to max out the riding skills on an individual character.

You can also buy training lessons from the crown store. Its faster than buying training from the stablemaster but costs real money.

This is the less time consuming way to train your horse. If you are a sub you get 1500 crowns per month subscribed. The training lessons cost 1000 crowns and you get 10 lessons per 1000 crowns. Personally, the last time I paid for my 6 month subscription, I bought 2 speed and 2 Carry cap. My horse now has +38% speed, because I trained at the Stable 18 times before plus the 20 lessons I bought and used. My horse also has +20 carry cap which gives my character 20 extra inventory slots.

To be honest, "less time consuming" is a wrong description. It really depends on how often you login. If you login everyday, it is more time consuming as buying it at the stable everyday.

average 30 days per month = 30 stable lesson.
1500 crowns per month (from sub) is average of 15 lessons per month.

So getting to 60 (max) at the stable is double as quick as using crowns from the sub.
The crown version is the convinience of not needing to login everyday and thinking bout visiting the stable.

As much as I hate to admit it, I may buy some Riding Lessons for a new Alt I am thinking of rolling. Just enough to get the speed up to 20 or 30 as riding a horse with L1 in speed is just sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww

I see what your saying but if you pay the 6 month sub fee, you get 9000 Crowns as soon as the transaction is complete. So you can technically buy 9 Crown Lesson packs. That's 90 lessons that can be used for one mount.

NOTE: You cannot have more then 60 in any one lesson. i.e. 60 Speed, Stamina or Carry Cap Max.

I never said anything about not logging on to do lessons, waiting month to month to receive crowns or using only crowns received from sub. If you have the money you can buy crowns and do ALL 180 lessons in one day on a mount. That's what I mean by its less time consuming. Buying lessons exclusively from the Stable Master means you MUST log on everyday for the next 6 months to max out your mount.

*EDIT: I just re-read your post.

From what I read, it seems that you think 1500 crowns will buy you 15 lessons. This is wrong. The lessons come in packs of 10 per 1000 Crowns. 2 packs for 2000 Crowns equals 20 single lessons. There's no cool down I might add so you can buy 6 packs for 6000 Crowns and spam the key until all 60 lessons are used on your mount. All this before you even take your first steps of the day.

In my personal opinion, it's so worth it. With a level 38 mount I get around so fast, plus the extra 20 inventory slots are so useful to have. Now I just need to start leveling my stamina so I don't get knocked from my mount so easily.
