minus-square@gramathy@lemmy.mllinkfedilink35•10 months agoAverage, 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
