The question is "what gooseneck."  The shortbed will not be a problem 
for most horse trailers, but it will if you ever want to haul a large 
camper trailer or certain other trailers.  If you want to be sure, 
measure the distance from the hitch to the front corner of the trailer, 
then measure the distance from the hitch to the rear window of the cab. 
 As long as the first is less than the second you're OK (although to be 
really sure you must allow for tilting of the trailer, too).

Don't forget to consider the trailer weight and the rating of the truck.
