I think horses have quite a lot of stamina, the only animals actually comparable to humans. Which is why we ride them.

We’re still a lot better over distance, iirc, which is why we are able to ride them

Yeah horse messengers were only really a thing when you could change horses at stations. That’s the whole point of the marathon. It’s based on the history of a foot messenger (at a time when we very much had domesticated horses).
