Land movement speed

[Animal]

how far can a PC tavel during a day based on his land speed? how often should he stop to rest? what if he's traveling on horseback?

 

[Infiniti2000]

This page of the SRD explains it in much more detail, but a character with speed 30 can walk 24 miles in one day, defined as

Walk
A character can walk 8 hours in a day of travel without a problem. Walking for longer than that can wear him or her out (see Forced March, below).

Note the Table: Terrain and Overland Movement for modifiers on how far.
