Clydesdales are the diesels of the horse world.

1 hp is the constant work output one horse can provide over a long period. A large draft horse like this can probably produce about 30 hp at peak.

There have been speculations that James Watt defined the original horsepower value using ponies. T hen he just assumed that 2 ponies equals 1 horse. But in the end his final values for horsepower were ( Wikipedia) :

“ Watt determined that a horse could turn a mill wheel 144 times in an hour (or 2.4 times a minute). The wheel was 12 feet (3.7 m) in radius; therefore, the horse travelled 2.4 × 2 × 12 feet in one minute. Watt judged that the horse could pull with a force of 180 pounds-force (800 N).
...
Watt defined and calculated the horsepower as 32,572 ftlbf/min, which was rounded to an even 33,000 ftlbf/min.”
