How do you train your horse?

You can pay for riding lessons every 20 hours, but with 3 paths (Speed, Stamina, Capacity) it can be difficult deciding what to train first.

How did you decide to train your horse? Why?

Feel free to explain if you did it differently on your alts.

    Speed and Stamina until 40. Then all three equally and at the end (speed and stamina at 60) just capacity to 60.

    My first character was capacity, speed, stamina (because I needed the bag space). Every character after that has been speed, stamina, capacity - I PvP a decent amount, and I have plenty of storage these days, so that's the most useful order.

    Speed to 60, capacity to 30, stamina to 20 (for the mount armor), finish getting capacity to 60, then finish off stamina.

    Back when I first began, and needed storage space, I did capacity first. But now, with many alts, a large bank, and the crafting bag? Speed, then capacity. I don't really bother with Stamina.

    As a solo PvEer who mainly runs everywhere to avoid all the mounting/dismounting every time I spot a harvest node, capacity is really the only useful stat for me.

    Stamina prevents you from being knocked off your mount so easily. With zero stamina, any mob with a ranged weapon will two-shot you off your horse.

    I can live without the extra bag space or extended mount sprint, but having a slow mount drives me crazy. I usually go 20/20/20 to get all the mount acoutrements, then work on them one by one to cap. Speed first, then whichever I feel like.

    I really focus on speed until about 30-35 then i start working on stamina too, while still working on speed. I just want to be quick on my horse. I hate how slow they are and how long it takes to train 1% at a time.

    When you could actually use stamina to ride faster it made sense after speed. Now it's worthless.

    I get Speed to 30, as that is where a horse feels worthwhile to ride. Then I alternate Capacity and Speed until Speed is Maxed, then I fold in Stamina alternating that with Capacity.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Max speed get stamina to about 40 then I play the character. - I don't play it before as I find it annoying.
    I usually just max stam and move to capacity . because pvp I take my level as10s there untill they are corporals at least befor they are aloud to pve. but sometimes will put a little in capacity I.e this recent event with it boxes.made me do capacity for two weeks .

    I find characters essentially unplayable until you have Speed of at least 40 or 50 and stamina of at least 30. I usually plan my alts rather far out so I can get to these benchmarks before I even start leveling them. I am 61 days away from being 15/15 maxed mounts. Every time I think I am done, they add a character slot...

    I don't do PvP and don't like rushing through PvE - I'm stopping every few feet to collect materials or explore or just check where I'm going (even with a mini map my sense of direction is horrible in games) so speed seems pointless to me.

    I prioritise carry capacity for larger bags, and then stamina because being knocked off is annoying.

    How do I train my horse? Easy, I log in with the character I want whose horse to be trained. Go to stable master. And train. There are also exceptions. If a horse is maxed for a character then you can not train horse for that character.

    Speed first, so I can get places fast and collect loot.
    Capacity next, so I can carry all that loot.
    Stamina last since I don't PvP. plus, horses can still maintain sprint speed while out of stamina. Just don't get hit or you'll dismount.
