So by exact wording it is only Light by reading it RAW. Though JJ seems to sort of imply HERE that the wording was too change when the final version was to come out.

So while I will house rule all three armors for War-Trained it's not exactly what the rules say. Best I can show for additional info.
I think I'll hold off on this for a little while, and see if we can find something more directly on point. Thanks for the quick answer.
I found something more on point from JJ yesterday and figured I will point you to the post. The full post is located HERE.

He is kind of rambling but the important part is "For now, though, it's safe to assume that a mount that's trained for war gets Light Armor proficiency for free, but needs to spend feats to get better armor. This does mean that most normal horses will never be able to get heavy armor training, and I'm kind of okay with that."

Hope that helps.
