Added SI units. This is an international site and the question was in kilometers.

| Dec 12, 2014 at 19:39 | comment | added | Tonny | I found that link myself too. Based upon that and some information about cavalry units in the American Civil War and Russian Kozaks my current "working figure" is 100 km (60 miles) a day. I can hand-waive rider tiredness because of the magic bond allowing the man/horse combo to work in perfect unison. (In fact that is the in-story reason for the bond in the first place.) | |
