I just found a 4 strength, 4 speed, 5 stamina horse. an upgrade from my speed 3 horse. I can’t believe how much faster this horse is. Now I want to find a horse with speed 5. Where can I find one?

Horse stats are never really guaranteed, outside of the unique horses in the game. Finding a horse with your preferred stats is going to be completely up to chance, and may take some time to find*.
Of the Unique horses that you can tame, the Royal White Stallion has four strength stars, three speed stars, five stamina stars. The Giant Horse has five strength and speed, but zero stamina, meaning that it cannot gallop.
Epona is the only other unique steed that can been tamed, though she can only be obtained by way of scanning the relevant amiibo. She has four strength, speed and stamina, and can be spurred.
The best horse you can find is actually the Lord of the Mountain, which has 5 in all stats, and can gallop. However, you can't register it at any stable, so it will escape when left on its own.
Other than that, you will have to go looking for your perfect horse.
*Horses found in the game will never have a full 5 stars in each stat. This reddit post explains that there are ideal combinations that you can find, but none of them have a 5 Strength, 5 Speed, and 5 Stamina combination.
South of Hyrule Ridge, in the DLC (I don't know which one) there is a bridle that increases stats. This may help you on your quest for the perfect horse.
I found one that was 5/4/5 and I think it was the best one. I've 100% completed the game and I found that one at the grassland with the tall trees where you find the giant horse. It's one of the other ones with it. Good luck.
