As many have already found out, horses have different jumping heights, health bars, and speed. The first two are easy to figure out, but the last requires a bit of redstone:
The horse starts at the bottom right corner of the picture, where it steps on pressure plates that open up a pair of doors. The rider rides the horse to the end of the track (marked with red and white wool), stopping a piston timer, which gives the time of the horse. After a delay (which can be adjusted easily) equivalent to 7 full repeaters, the signal from the beginning of the track activates the below mechanism:
A block, placed against the front of the piston closest to the bottom of the image, travels along as each piston pushes it in succesion, until the horse reaches the finish, where it activates the bottom pistons, stopping the block at a location along the mechanism. Using the numbers above each piston (on the other side, it goes 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, etc.), the time of the horse can be calculated by (7 + x) * 0.4, where 0.4 is the time, in seconds, of each repeater. The track pictured above is 50 meters; dividing that by the time gives the speed in m/s, multiplying that by 2.237 gives the speed in MPH.
The bottom pistons can be wired as such (all should activate together):
Horse speeds tend to be within 4-8 seconds (12.5 - 6.25 m/s), which can be increased or decreased with potions. It seems that the faster horses have worse jumping and armor, but that could be a result of the small sample size of fast horses.
I am doing more testing on horses, and will report new information. If you have anything to add to this, please post it.
This is a really nice machine you have here, kudos on building it, but would you like to maybe add in a schematic and or a map for people who don't wish to actually download it, also one last thing, I believe this should be in the show your creations area, and not the discussion area, unless I miss read something?
Why would it be in the "show your creations area"? I don't think he necessarily posted this thread with the intention of showing off his exercise machine for the horses lol.
I see it as the beginnings of a comprehensive run through of the differing speeds and such of horses. I'm still waiting for someone to post what features steeds can have in terms of speed, jump height and health.

Yeah it's a creation in which can show the different speeds for horses, it's not formally a discussion about the snapshot itself, but about the creation he has made for testing speeds.

I'll begin working on the schematic. This thread is where it is because, from my experiance, anything involving snapshots goes here.

The fastest speed I've found so far is a rating of 10 (4 seconds, 12.5 m/s). The slowest is 17 (6.8 seconds, 7.35 m/s). The highest jumping is 4.5 meters, the lowest is 1.5. Health I've seen between 9 and 13, but I've heard it can go up to 15.

This is a really nice machine that makes it easy to check horse stats without .cnf stuff. Because I really got sick of making custom horses jsut because I could stand not knowing their stats. XD

On topic: I know nothing about redstone, but this looks awesome. Quite amazing the inventions some people can think up.
