The amount of miles traveled will depend on the speed of the horse, the weight of the carriage, the terrain that is being covered, the weather, and how often the horse and people need to stop to eat and use the restroom. Typically a horses best travelling gait is the trot, a trot can average 4 to 8 mph in a none racing breed.So if all the factors are in your favor, flat terrain, light people, carriage, and belongings you should be able to cover roughly 16 to 32 miles in a day once you factor in an 8 hour period to sleep, and roughly four hours for taking breaks, using the bathroom, eating, and drinking (both people and the horse).

That depends how many hours you travel at that speed.

Well, honey, it all depends on the horse's speed and how many breaks it takes to pee. On average, a horse can trot at about 8-10 miles per hour, so it would take roughly an hour or so to cover 10 miles. But hey, if that horse is feeling frisky and gallops at around 25 miles per hour, you could be at your destination in no time. Just remember to pack some snacks for the ride, those horses can work up an appetite.
