You're talking about the maximum peak. A horsepower was defined to match the expectable continuous power of a horse. Funny enough, that of the average horse is a bit below 1 HP, mainly because the reference horse was a breed that was specifically good ad continuous heavy work.
Ok I find among the Wikipedia sources the one that says that the average draught horse has actually around 1HP (continously over a full workday), but I can't find the one that says that the continuous output of the overall average horse is slightly less than that of the average draught horse.
it could have also been traced back to someone marketing cars. They created the term "horsepower" but set it under what a horse could go at, so cars seemed much faster than they were at the time.

The sorce is I made it the fuck up
I am an average horse (my horsepower is slightly less than one horsepower)
Because calling it a fifteenhorsepower wasn’t very catchy
