About 2-3 seconds. Its about that many strides, 2-3. They can't go the distance like a Thoroughbred but they are unbeatable for sprints. And they accelerate incrediably fast. They truly are 'nature's race car'.
no a horse can run up to 30mph and the fastest human can only run up to 25 mph
A Quarter Horse is n all American horse. What a Quarter Horse really is, is a horse that can gallop at full speed a quarter of a mile without stopping. I hope this answers your question! [-:
I believe that the fastest an average quarter horse can run is about thirty to forty mph at top speed.
The highest the Quarter Horse has been clocked running in 57mph
The fastest breed of horse is the American Quarter horse, which can reach up to 55 m/h (88 km/h) for a short distance. A Thoroughbred horse can only run as fast as 45mph.
34mph is the average for most horses. 45 is more like the speed of racehorses and Quarter horses can reach 55 miles an hour for short sprints
Tobiano, being a color pattern, matters not on the speed of a horse. A Paint is derived from the Quarter Horse. At best, the fastest run given by a Quarter Horse at a quarter mile race was 55 mph. Although, this is the clocked speed from a race horse with impeccable conformation and breeding for speed. But an average horse at a full gallop typically has a speed of 35 mph.
If the horse is a Quarter Horse, it can run at over 50 mph. If it's anything else, it probably will run at about 40 mph. With barrels, however, the horse probably won't be able to reach full speed.

race horses can reach 30mph+
The Quarter Horse is the fastest horse in the world, for a quarter of a mile. The Thoroughbred, most often used in horse racing, has more endurance for an entire mile, but still cannot beat the Quarter Horse in a quarter-of-a-mile race. Hence the name 'Quarter Horse'. This is exactly what you want in a horse when you are working cattle - short bursts of extraordinary speed.
A horse can reach speeds of up to about 70 km/h. Witha stride lenght of 7 meters.
