Horses that are bred for speed, like Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds, can reach 40 mph for short periods of time. I would say the average fro horses overall is about 33-35 mph... it really depends on the horse. I've seen Thoroughbreds only get to 20 and I've ridden my Paint up to about 43.
A walk is generally about 2-5 mph, a trot 5-8, and a canter should be between 15-20. A hand-gallop could be anywhere from 20-30, and a full-out-hang-on-for-your-life gallop could be anything higher than that

Tobiano, being a color pattern, matters not on the speed of a horse. A Paint is derived from the Quarter Horse. At best, the fastest run given by a Quarter Horse at a quarter mile race was 55 mph.
