It's not uncommon for a Quarter Horse to reach 35-40mph, but it really depends on the breed of horse you have, how much weight it's pulling, how much exerscise it is used to, and of course the individual horse.

The average speed for a horse is around 40 miles, which is about 64 kilometers an hour. Horses are pretty fast creatures and can got pretty far in an hour, that is without any weigt from a person :)

The top speed for a horse is the gallop, which can reach as fast as 45 mph in a Thoroughbred in top condition.

Quarter Horses have been known to sprint up to 55mph for a VERY short time

An avergae gallop is 35mph

A racehorse (Thouroghbredor TB) can run up to 45mph

So horses are generally running 40 or 45 mph. This is wrong.

The speed for an average horse not bred to race is 17 to 20 MPH ( 27- 32 KPH) while galloping. A race horse can achieve speeds of 35 to 55 MPH ( 56- 88.5 KPH.)

How long will it take a horse to travel 563 miles?

It depends how fast the horse is travelling ! Assuming the horse can travel at a constant speed of 20 mph, it would take 28.15 hours without resting.No horse can maintain a speed of 20 mph for that length of time with a rider on it's back. This would kill the horse. On average you can travel around 30 miles in a day and not overwork the horse. But if you have a very good horse and it is not too hot, you could travel up to 50 miles with some rest stops. So you are looking at at around 12 days to travel 563 miles.It depends how fast the horse is travelling !
