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.
