Hi,

I was thinking and looking in the net about the speed of a horse on a normal terrain but I couldn't find any lead so far.

But then I remembered that there was a program about speed, time and terrain.

does anyone have any knowledge about it?

Don't know any program but the PHB lists the speed of a light horse (101-300 lb.) on normal terrain at 6m/h or 48m/day.

Maybe that helps.

how would that speed be affected in a hadicaped terrain?
like in a forest, a hill with a no good road, marshes with highway, greenland with only paved roads.

and also what would be the movement speed of a marching army on above conditions?

Per the SRD 3.5

quote:
Table: Terrain and Overland Movement Terrain Highway Road or Trail Trackless
Desert, sandy ×1 ×½ ×½
Forest ×1 ×1 ×½
Hills ×1 ×¾ ×½
Jungle ×1 ×¾ ×¼
Moor ×1 ×1 ×¾
Mountains ×¾ ×¾ ×½
Plains ×1 ×1 ×¾
Swamp ×1 ×¾ ×½
Tundra, frozen ×1 ×¾ ×¾

It is not formating well it might be better if you consulted the SRD directly at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/movement.htm#tableTerrainAndOverlandMovement
