We have a simple line of gates which are connected to redstone. You run the horse at the line of gates, and you run over a pressure plate just before the first gate. This opens all the gates, and then closes them again after a tick of redstone power.
You can then measure how many single blocks your horse has travelled in that second, by seeing how many gates you got past before getting stopped.
Its a simple, easy and consistent way to measure speed which can translate directly into how long it'll take you to travel along our nether. 2000 block journey, 10m/s horse? 3 minutes and 20 seconds trip.
