How many furlongs is the typical horse?

This question is a bit of a trick! You're mixing up units of measurement.

* Furlong: A unit of distance, equal to 1/8 of a mile (approximately 201 meters).

* Horse: A living animal, measured in units like feet or hands (a unit of hand is used for horse height, equal to 4 inches).

So, a horse isn't measured in furlongs. It's like asking how many miles tall is a car!
