Being a horse, one would expect they could "sprint", ie. gallop, for a decent period of time. Mine (the first one I bought, at Whiterun stables), can only sprint for about as long as I can. That is, just several seconds. Then he goes back to cantering.
Is this normal? If so, what's the purpose of giving a horse (and apparently the hardiest of horses in Tamriel, or so I hear) so little fatigue?
It is normal it's just how Bethesda wanted it....too bad because galloping for a longer period of time would have been fun :P
This is normal. Bethesda wanted not to make horse travel to fast in order to increase the perceived size of the world.
Sprinting is there so you can put a little distance between enemies and yourself.
There is a mod that allows horses to run longer and faster.
I greatly prefer it to the vanilla horses - it makes the horses feel much more useful.
