I'm assuming your horses would be carrying a knight in full armor perhaps? This would require a thicker draftish mount to support their weight. As you might guess this means they are not as stamina or speed capable as other breeds would be. Even without stopping much just to drink or eat a horse could conceivable be on the move for days on end without too much effort. Maybe not at a full run, but you're most likely not going to be able to keep that speed unless in an open area the whole time. Trees and windy paths make for some harder riding. If you were to run a horse full for a week, even with water and food stops it would most likely drop from exhaustion.
