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.
