   dunno about cowboys, but a "forced march"   
   for Cavalry was about 30-35 miles a day.   
      
   Regular march was abou 20-25 miles a day   
   after riders and horses were broken in to it.   
      
   You can't push horses too far all in one day   
   and expect to do anything the next day.   
      
   Army posts were about 20 miles apart --   
   a good day's ride then.
