Are horses built to run?
Yes, horses are built to run. They are also built to pull heavy weights, though this is secondary to their ability to run, and travel long distances. Not all horses are fast, they do have three basic 'running types' Sprinter, Middle Distancer, and stayer. Sprinters are chunky with big hindquarters. Middle Distancers tend to have slightly bigger hindquarters like a sprinter, but a bit longer in the body like a stayer. Stayers have long, lean, typically tall bodies, they can travel distances at speeds slightly slower than a sprinter.

Should you get a Tennessee walker if you want a fast running horse to ride everyday?
Tennessee Walking horses are not the fastest horses. They run about the same speed as most other horses, around 25-30 mph. They are really smooth though, in all their gaits, trot and lope included, from my experience. They are really good horses. However, if you want a really fast horse for short distances, a Quarter horse would be a better breed. They can run at 55 miles an hour for about a quarter of a mile. For a slightly slower horse but with more stamina, you could look into a thoroughbred who run closer to 40 mph. Other horses run about 25-30 mph like the Tennessee walker.
What are the limbs of horses adapted for?
The limbs of horses are strong and muscular. That would suggest that they are adapted for walking and running over long distances.
