Horses can run fast only so long, depending on the conditioning and the breed. Quarter horses are bred for shorter distances, while Arab horses are noted for endurance. A horse can die of dehydration, heart attack and exhaustion if not rested periodically. Also, horses, like humans, can develop heart problems. Horses have died in the middle of a race or even afterwards.
