Again - application of a changing load. A horse's legs are a one speed transmission. How fast does a 200 horsepower car go when always in first or second gear? No horse has overdrive. If properly adapted to changing loads, one horsepower could easily maintain 60 MPH.

Meanwhile, we are innovating. Nobody uses reins. Each horse is computer controlled. Move your eyes left and the horse goes in that direction. Holding reins means too much wasted energy.
