It's called horse power as it's based on comparing a horse's power with that of an mechanical engine. Exactly why it's set a the rate it is I believe unknown.

because people are stupid, and someone realized back when steam engines were just becoming a thing that relating the strength of an engine to a relatable standpoint made more sense to the common man then throwing out terms like watts or foot-pounds.

I'm thinking maybe it's just a rating system but I can imagine a mechanical horse very easily and perhaps something like a train which is neo-victorian or steam punk.

Power is energy per time, which is equal to the dot product of force and velocity.
James Watt, who coined the unit of horsepower, used a horse, a rope and a pulley to raise a weight out of a well, and used the weight (force) of the stone and the velocity of the horse to calculate the unit he would understandably call horsepower. What this means in reality, though, is that the horsepower is not the power of all horses, but rather the power that James Watt's horse felt like exerting during that particular experiment. --- 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 53 ...
