 I LIKE it! A 1 horsepower treadmill generator.. wonders what your output would be.

Suggestions, maybe a PM treadmill motor, or maybe even two I'm sure a horse could crank over that much.

Or you could design it like an old sorghum grinder. Have the horses walking in a circle. you are talking some gearing somewhere, but totally feasible.

  You could even salvage 4 treadmills, one for each foot? I doubt getting a horse to walk in place would be easy though.
