How long it takes to go 40 miles in a horse drawn carriage will depend on how fast the horse is. The weight of the carriage and occupants will also impact the speed of the horse. A horse drawn carriage usually averages about 5 miles per hour so it would take 8 hours to go 40 miles.
It depends how fast the horse is travelling ! Assuming the horse can travel at a constant speed of 20 mph, it would take 10 hours without resting. No horse can maintain a speed of 20 mph for 10 hours 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 4 days to travel 200 miles.

Depends on how fast the horse is going.
I was actually just wondering the same thing! I read in a sermon online that they travelled at around 3-4 miles per hour. But that seems a bit slow to me perhaps...
It all depends on if there were people pushing it and how hard they were pushing it and how the terrain is.
Depending on the weather a stage coach could travel about 20 to 25 miles a day. I would have been quicker to take the train.
The pioneers traveled by horse-drawn wagons on the Oregon Trail, averaging around 10-15 miles per day. Additionally, some pioneers used stagecoaches or rode horses for faster travel.
That depends on the speed at which one is traveling.
According to the attached link, the average speed of a stagecoach was four to seven miles per hour. I'll take the average of that: 5.5 mph. So it would take 300/5.5 = 54.5 hourstotal to travel that distance.Of course stagecoaches did not travel continuously--they would cover between 70 and 120 miles in a day (again, see the link), meaning it would take them about three days to complete the whole journey.
Thoroughbreds(breed of horse)can travel at anywhere from 25-30 miles/hour.
The stagecoach traveled at an average speed of about five miles per hour, with the total daily mileage covered being around 60 or 70 miles. Wells Fargo stagecoaches also travel around 5 miles per hour today.
