Well this will vary according to just those factors that you have listed, speed and distance. For a sprinting horse a Quarter horse is almost unbeatable they can reach speeds of up to 55 mph over a quarter mile distance. For middle distances of 1 to 4 miles a Thoroughbred would be fastest at speeds of 35 to 50 mph. For longer distances of 5 miles or more the Akhal-Teke is faster than the Arabian with a better recovery rate.

Does the types of horses effect how fast they run?
Definiteley. Thoroughbred are the fastest; they can run 45 mph. Actually, Quarter Horses are the fastest for a quarter of a mile, but then the Thoroughbreds have more endurance. Ponies are generally slower. Young horses are generally faster than older ones. Andalusiangirl

Arabian horses originate possibly in Egypt. They are one of the oldest breeds of horses. They were bred by Bedouins, groups of Arabs that often raided to make a living. The Bedouins bred the horses to be quick and hardy specifically for the purpose of making a quick get away after a raid. They are very tough horses and tend to be rather short, around 14-15.4 hands high. The most common coat colors for the breed are gray, chestnut and bay.

Is the Arabian the fastest horse for long distances?
Answer: Arabians were bred for endurance because they were ridden in areas with harsh conditions etc. I don't know if they are the fastest breed of horse, but I do know that purebred Arabians are generally very high-strung and can be very aggressive. However, mixed breeds usually have a much more laid-back temperament. Hope this helps! The fastest breed is the American Quarter Horse which can reach 55 miles per hour for a quarter of a mile. Thoroughbreds however can keep 40 miles per hour for a mile but even the fleetest Arabian could not achieve the speed of a Thoroughbred or Quarter Horse. Therefore the Arabian is not the fastest.

The answer is yes. Other breeds of horses have been known to out-race thoroughbreds. The Morgan horse is one of these, who was recorded to successfully out-run two valuable thoroughbreds.
