How fast??????????? maybe a stupid question!!!!!!!!!!!!

[poiuytrewq]

How fast at gallop would a horse be roughly on mph do you think?

 

[moodiestmare]

racehorses go around 35mph

 

[marieE]

depends if it can gallop, a cob be flat out trying to gallop at 10mph!?lol

but in fairness i think top speed of tb is bout 40mph. so a fast non racer tb type be round 35 at guess

you considering riding your horse to work, the way fuel prices are going!?lol

I have Quarter Horses so I know a bit more about their speed and that they are capable of running at around 50mph.

TB's can run at 40mph and it would totally depend on a number of factors as to how fast your horse could run, and over what distance would have a bearing.

 

[Henbug]

fastest is 45mph, average for tb is 40mph

 

[Seahorse]

I always thought TB's galloped at 45mph?

We had a mile gallop at my old yard and I took my ex racehorse up there and timed him, he did it in 1m33 which is equal to 45mph isn't it? unless my maths is very bad of course!

 

[QUICKFIRE]

And some horses can even go faster, in reverse

Hey thanks everyone, it was just that a girl on my yard and her 14hh pony- admittedly speedy pony said that today she galloped him alongside her dads landrover and she did 45mph- i thought this was surely a bit far fetched!
As for riding to work, what a fantastic idea unfortunatly my horse does not do being alone and would never agree to spending the day parked outside!! lol never mind

 

[Baggybreeches]

I wouldn't question the girls integrity, but definitely the Landrover speedo would be suspect!!!
I used to trot my old pony at 17mph on the road, I have no idea how fast she galloped as the speedo on my brothers motorbike never worked!!!

 

[Tia]

Oh no maths please

, I'm too old for that

.

I just know that Quarter Horses clock the fastest speeds in the world, all the other breeds can't do these speeds.

 

[Tia]

What breed of pony/horse was it? What year of LR was it?

Quarter horses are only fastest over a quarter mile. They cant hold it up for as long as TB's. I guess thats why you dont see much quarter horse racing?
