It's true!

Although it may seem safe to assume that one horsepower is the output a horse is capable of creating at any one time, that is incorrect. In fact, the maximum output of a horse can be up to 15 horsepower,[2] and the maximum output of a human is a bit more than a single horsepower. For extreme athletes, this output can be even higher with Tour de France riders outputting around 1.2 horsepower for around 15 seconds, and just under 0.9 horsepower for a minute.[3]

I must now once again question the nature of reality.

Horsepower is averaged based on an extended time period, how much power a horse can put out on average while constantly working. They can't do 15 hp on a constant basis, they can only do it for a relatively brief period of time, so their average is 1 hp. A 15 hp engine can run at 15 hp for a much longer period of time, which a horse can't do. If the engine was hypothetically capable of working consistently without ever breaking down, it would be able to run at 15 hp indefinitely. But even with the machine's lifespan in mind, it can still run for years at the same output, which is impossible for a horse.

I think it’s between 1 and 15, depending on factors like how tired, or if his horse girlfriend broke up with him for that dumb old stud.

Watts are superior for this reason.

Over a short period of time, they calculate, a horse can exert up to 14.9 horsepower.

There's a difference between maximum power and maximum continuous power. It's like your car engine; it might be rated for hundreds of horsepower, but most of the time cruising down the highway it might be making 20 or so just to keep you loafing along.

Li'l Sebastian ran at about ~~5 HP~~ 15000HP! I stand corrected

So how much HP does Bojack Horseman have?

Interestingly, I read the images as skeletor, if you know what I mean

nyaaaaah

Every kilowatt has 1000 watts

Guess we now have to change to duck power instead
