You know you are throwing a monkey wrench into your own story
When you can't write a scene until you look up some bit of information like how fast a horse can gallop at its top speed and how much distance it can cover at that speed. And what distance it could cover in a given time at endurance riding speeds (at least 10 km/h).
And even that information isn't enough, because you need information on the breed of horse would be best suited for the type of mission your character needs the horse for or for the horse to fit into the proposed timeline.
ETA: How did anyone get any research done before the Internet and search engines? I'd end up living in a library!
