Scottish engineer James Watt developed the concept of horsepower based on an experiment involving horses working a mill stone at a brewery. He calculated that one horse could lift 33,000lbs (15 tonnes) one foot into the air in one minute.
Working Shires can comfortably pull twice their weight
This is sometimes regarded as an over-estimate of the average heavy horse's strength, although a 1993 study entitled simply "Horsepower from a horse" concluded that Watt got it about right. Regardless, the measurement stuck and is still used to describe engine power today.
