If the Conestoga wagon was fully loaded with 12,000 pounds, adding the 3,000 lb wagon would make a total load of 15,000 pounds. You would need 10 horses on a flat road; 14 horses on a rough, slightly sloped road.
A four team hitch was the most common.

It would most likely take 500 draft horses to pull that amount of weight. A draft horse can easily pull twice it's own weight, so an average draft horse weighing 2,000 pounds can pull 4,000 pounds.
Horses are pregnant for 11 months.
That will depend on many things. Some horses are born with grey hairs in their tails, that's called a 'Skunk tail'. Other horses carry the grey gene which will turn them from a darker color to a light shade of grey over time.

This question sucks a gillam The moon weighs about - or rather has a mass of:- 73,430,000,000,000,000,000 tonnes (This is not exact - just a figure I found on a web site about moon related facts) Now, some shires can pull up to 6 tonnes... So a simple method would be to divide the moons mass by 6 and that's how many horses required... 12238333333333333333 horses... It will require less than this though, as teams of horses can pull more than individuals to a significant degree... It also assumes that the Moon is resting on the Earth...
