Different horse will have different endurance levels. Some horses can only move fast for short periods of time, others for long periods of time, e.g., the Arabian.
Trotting is slower than the gallop, but trotting for long periods of time is actually better exercise.
The miles that a horse can trot a day depends strongly on that horses fitness, breed, age and conformation. That is a question that has more than one answer, and it highly depends.
Hope this helps a bit,

How many miles can a run in a day?
in the wild, horses travel 15-20 miles a day. I dont think they run all that way, probably mostly at a trot. So, I dont know how many they RUN in a day, but they travel 15-20 miles.
How many miles does a horse and carriage travel in 1 day?
The amount of miles traveled will depend on the speed of the horse, the weight of the carriage, the terrain that is being covered, the weather, and how often the horse and people need to stop to eat and use the restroom. Typically a horses best travelling gait is the trot, a trot can average 4 to 8 mph in a none racing breed.So if all the factors are in your favor, flat terrain, light people, carriage, and belongings you should be able to cover roughly 16 to 32 miles in a day once you factor in an 8 hour period to sleep, and roughly four hours for taking breaks, using the bathroom, eating, and drinking (both people and the horse).
What is the average traveling distance for a horse?
Horses have been the tried and true method of traveling in the days before cars, alongside of oxen and mules. When traveling long distances on a horse, the standard was to have a horse breed and trained for such a purpose and be within the proper age to travel (not to young, not to old). When these conditions were met, the average is true: At a good trot gait intermixed with slower 'resting' pace, while traveling in good conditions on good terrain, a horse could travel for 8 hours (with frequent rests) at around an average of between 3 mph (walk) to 8 mph (trot). Many would consider 25-30 miles in a day a successful day of travel. If conditions are PERFECT and the horse is well rested, there have been days where a horse can exceed 60 miles of travel.

How many hours a day trail ride a horse daily?
It all depends on your horse. If you have a horse with good stamina, or you plan to only walk and trot, you can ride for longer. If you're like me, you love cantering, galloping and jumping over home made jumps :). You can't trail ride as long, it will tire your horse out. Sometimes, I'm on my horse for over 2 1/2 / 3 hours, but I give my horse breaks. It depends on what you can do and what your horse can do. :) I <3 riding :) hope this helps you!
