1hp is the average power over time for a horse. That 15hp number is peak. There's like a whole thing with lifting a set weight up and seeing how far the horse traveled and whatnot to get to that number which is sorta interesting but it ends in hp is sorta flawed and we mostly use it wrong but still it's neat.
