I'm looking for a way to traveling a long distance is a short amount of time. I'm talking like 6 days worth of traveling on horse back. I'm looking for anything relevant to this, feats, classes, PrC, Magic items, ect.

I'm looking for a way to traveling a long distance is a short amount of time. I'm talking like 6 days worth of traveling on horse back. I'm looking for anything relevant to this, feats, classes, PrC, Magic items, ect.

Let's see... six days at 8 hours/day (standard), using 'normal' movement rates (move 30 = 3 miles/hour, roughly) = 6*8*3=144 miles.
Edit: Oh, wait: "on horseback" - light horse is the faster, having a move of 60, so double that - 288 miles.

A cleric with the Travel domain gets Teleport as a 5th level spell.
A Wizard or Sorcerer can take Teleport as a 5th level spells.
The Boots or Helm of Teleportation give teleport 3/day
Shadow Walk (Sor/Wiz 6) lets you go pretty fast.
Phantom Steed (Sor/Wiz 3) makes you speed based on your caster level.

Anything that increases your base movement speed also increases how quickly you move.

Undead, being immune to both fatigue effects and nonlethal damage, can go at a full run 24 hours a day, so your basic skeleton of a light horse (move 60) can carry you 576 miles over the course of a day, or the six days travel (listed earlier) in 6 hours, if the path is mostly straight.
Edit: 12 hours, as the original question was about six days on horseback

What kind of resources are you looking at?
 

Tree Stride is Druid 5

Give the horse the Run feat.

Isn't there something with Edurance?

Faster or Flying mounts.

Regular light horses come with both Run and Endurance. However, to get them to be able to do so continuously, you pretty much need to kill them and reanimate them - which causes them to lose the two feats.
