Max out?

If you go all speed first, make sure you don't sprint continuously even when you're out of stamina. I don't even really PVP, but I can't count the number of enemy players riding by at top speed who I've knocked off their horses with one hit... Speed is definitely important in Cyrodiil, but stamina to allow you to take a hit or two and keep on riding is super useful. I've had a couple of times on a maxed-out mount (60/60/60) when I've had people attacking me and I've just kept on riding until I was out of range thanks to my stamina.

Ah ok no worries, yeah I wanted to max out both stats. Not really keen on the carry capacity

The carrying capacity is awesome, and for a PVE player probably the most important thing to max out. It's good for a PVP player as well, but if you're planning to primarily PVP I'd definitely say it should be a lower priority than speed and stamina.
