Why did cowboys in New Mexico ride their horses to town?
Back in the days when cowboys were common, horses were the obvious choice if you wanted to get around without walking, so cowboys weren't named for what they rode, but for the animals they were working with - the cows. Because cows have a rougher gait than horses, thus making them less comfortable. I believe it is because they started out riding horses to round up cows. Somebody correct me if I am wrong though.

How far can a wagon pulled by four horses travel in one day?
In the days of the stage coach a 4-horse hitch could travel about 25 miles a day. Depending on the terrain the horses would be changed more frequently. After about 25 miles the passengers needed to rest. Stage coach was a very uncomfortable way to travel. Answer- Depending on the kind of vehicle (wagon, buggy vis-a-vis-landau etc) the weight of the vehicle and passengers and contents, plus the kind of horses doing the pulling, their condition and the terrain/road condition- a decent dirt road is easier on the horses legs and feet than paved (either current pavements or old cobblestone) if the hitch has relief horses every 25-40 miles it easily make over 100-150 miles on reasonable terrain in a good day. Individual endurance riding horses do 100 miles carrying a rider in a day over a variety of terrain.
