Somebody has to write this comment, so it might as well be me. A horse has up to 15 horsepower.
Bonus fact: In polish we call a horsepower unit a "mechanical horse".

But sustained at 1hp when averaged over 24 hours. They are capable of peaks.
They are capable of peaks
Damn, horses outgunning us
Humans are capable of “peaks” too. We can’t exert our full power for a sustainable hour either.
When considering human-powered equipment, a healthy human can produce about 1.2 hp (0.89 kW)briefly (see orders of magnitude) and sustain about 0.1 hp (0.07 kW) indefinitely;
But yeah, horses outclass us anyways.
True that. But it was an attempt at humour because life seems to go just downhill without very many peaks

Need to put it before the horse's head?
Put de cart before de horse.
