I read during the course of my research that quarter horses are very quick off the line and have a high top end (50-55 mph), but can only maintain that speed for a 1/2 mile or so. Now, it is general consensus that a horse would outrun a cheetah over long distances but is no match over short distances. The man wins. Man v Horse is an annual multi terrain race over 24 miles over Welsh countryside.

A horse's speed depends on gait: Walk: 4 mph Trot 8 to 12 mph Canter 12 to 15 mph Gallop 25 to 30 mph.
