The first cars started being invented because people were complaining that horse drawn carriages and horse just weren't taking them places fast enough and trains were to expensive for normal transportation.
Mr. Toad loves expensive fast cars. He has crashed seven of them. He also likes punting and houseboats, and horse-driven carriages.
Depends on how fast the horse is going.
How long it takes to go 40 miles in a horse drawn carriage will depend on how fast the horse is. The weight of the carriage and occupants will also impact the speed of the horse. A horse drawn carriage usually averages about 5 miles per hour so it would take 8 hours to go 40 miles.
I was actually just wondering the same thing! I read in a sermon online that they travelled at around 3-4 miles per hour. But that seems a bit slow to me perhaps...
The origin of shoo in is a horse that goes so fast you don't have to force the horse to travel faster by stronger means.
This would depend on how fast the horse is going. Without the speed there is no answer. The average speed of the average horse is about 12 mph.
It depends how fast the horse is travelling ! Assuming the horse can travel at a constant speed of 20 mph, it would take 28.15 hours without resting.No horse can maintain a speed of 20 mph for that length of time with a rider on it's back. This would kill the horse. On average you can travel around 30 miles in a day and not overwork the horse. But if you have a very good horse and it is not too hot, you could travel up to 50 miles with some rest stops. So you are looking at at around 12 days to travel 563 miles.It depends how fast the horse is travelling !

same speed as the horses pulling them, which is slower than a horse alone, try 30mph
The answer to this is: the carriage is only as fast as the horse. Walk: Roughly 3-4 MPH. A pleasure show horse can go as slow as 2 mph. Gaited horses-- who do not trot-- can do a 'running walk' as fast as 15 mph. Trot: The trot is roughly 8-10 MPH. Again, a shorter striding horse could trot slower, and a horse with a long stride could move faster. Harness Racing (Trot/Pace): 20-35 MPH Canter/Lope: 10-17 MPH. Gallop - 20-45 MPH NOTE 1: It is generally considered bad form for any horse in harness to canter, lope, or gallop while hitched to a vehicle, as it is dangerous and ill-advised. NOTE 2: Many horse-drawn vehicles are referred to as "carriages" when in fact, they are not. Hearses, wagons, sulkies, carts etc all have different functions and are built to go at different speeds.
Horse
As fast as the horse can run.
