1000 tons weighs in at 2 million pounds. A fit draft horse, the type used for pulling heavy loads weighs an average of 2,000 pounds and can pull twice it's weight, so 4,000 pounds. That means it would take 500 draft horses to pull that weight.
Well assuming that each horse is pulling twice it's weight (Which is average for a draft horse) then you would need 250 horses. Each would be pulling roughly 4,000 pounds as most draft horses are around 2,000 pounds.
A Herd of Horses or a Team.
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated and whether the load is three phase or single phase. Without the voltage the amperage can not be calculated. For single phase, Amps = kva x 1000/voltage, for three phase, Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.
The relationship between the number of ropes lifting the load and the effort needed to lift the load is inversely proportional. As the number of ropes lifting the load increases, the effort needed to lift the load decreases. This is because the load is distributed among more ropes, reducing the force required from each rope.
Typically horses won't load into trailer because they look like small dark caves, which frighten horses.
Very few horses were used . . . the wagons were almost universally pulled by a team of oxen, or a team of mules. Mules and horses needed grass or grain to stay healthy, but oxen could feed on pretty much anything. Mules and horses needed to eat constantly, but an ox could store food in any of four stomachs and could be fed at morning and evening and work all day. Mules were especially difficult to control, and both horses and mules would wander from camp, but oxen stayed put and were easy to control. Oxen were a third as much as mules and much less than that for horses. An entire team of oxen could be purchased for the cost of a horse. Oxen were good in mud and slippery conditions, but horses and mules were not. On the other hand, oxen were not good in heat, so they tended to be used in the summer in the morning and evening with a siesta during the heat of the day. Mules could do a third again the number of miles that oxen could, but were not very strong, and had poor stamina. Oxen could use a yoke and push their load, but horses and mules needed complicated harnesses to pull their load. Hooking up oxen in the morning took much less time than hooking up mules or horses. Once you got to your location, oxen could plow and do other things and were considered good meat, but horses and mules were less useful at the destination and were considered poor meat.
The amount of effort needed to lift a load decreases as the distance of the load from the fulcrum increases. This is because a longer distance from the fulcrum provides a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift the load.

The location of the fulcrum and load affects the amount of effort needed to lift the load and the distance the load can be moved. Placing the fulcrum closer to the load reduces the effort needed but limits how far the load can be moved, while placing the fulcrum closer to the effort increases the distance the load can be moved but requires more effort.
The number of pulleys required to lift a load depends on the mechanical advantage needed. For a simple pulley system with no mechanical advantage, one pulley is needed. By adding more pulleys in a block and tackle system, you can increase the mechanical advantage and reduce the effort required to lift the load.
You can decrease the force needed to lift a load with a lever by increasing the length of the lever arm. By moving the pivot point or fulcrum closer to the load, you can reduce the amount of force required to lift the load.
Horses are lined up with the 1 horse being on the far left of the starting gate. They draw to see which post position they will have. The load horses into the gates usually in order in less they know a horse won't stand still for very long then that horse is the last to load.
