Questions About Mounted Combat

In the basic set, it mentions that a rider uses the lower of his weapon skill or riding skill to hit. Is this before or after modifiers? For example, if I have lance 15 and riding 14, do I lower my lance skill to 14, then apply a +1 for weapon bond and a -3 for targeting vitals, for a net skill of 12? Or do I apply those to my lance skill, and then roll against the lower of the two, for a net skill of 13?

Also, do the modifiers listed under the riding skill (like the mount being trained in the mount skill or the mount being comfortable with the rider) apply to the riding skill for this purpose? Do they add before or after, like the weapon skill modifiers?

And as a side, does this work the same way for battlesuits?
