I was wondering if there was a way to test a horse's speed, rather than just guessing by riding it.
Please note that I am not a very knowledgeable person when it comes to redstone.
Well your good at redstone so have trip wire have a signal on starting and on on finishing, put hoppers facing into each other and see how many go in the other hopper, the horse that has the least amount of items go into the other hopper is the fastest go guess shah
You can estimate the Speed of your horse nearly exact by riding it. Just build a 100-blocks-long linear racing course and measure the time it takes to ride it in seconds. Divide it by 100 and you will know the Speed of your horse in metres per second! Start a bit before the Measuring and the racing line becouse it takes a bit of time to Speed. If you want to have it more exact, make the course longer, but 100 blocks are enough in my experience. If you have a Problem with the size of the course, you can do it in a tunnel of 3*3*100 blocks.
This method of measuring Speed has been in use since the time of the Ancient Greeks!
No redstone needed at all.
