Wasn't one unit of horsepower meant to represent sustained power, not peak power of a horse?
Average, not necessarily sustained. Horse gotta rest at some point regardless of how much power it’s putting out
Iirc it’s an average over 1 day (24hrs) without regard to rest. So even sustained a horse is putting out more than 1hp at any given point in time
That would be a logical explanation... Get out!
It's supposed to be the amount of work a strong horse can perform over one day on average.
