The truck will have two numbers, a GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) 
and the amount of trailer weight it can handle.  Find out the empty 
weight of any trailer you are considering, add the weight of the horses, 
water in tanks, and all of your gear, then 10% for good measure and be 
sure it is within the rating.  Then keep both the trailer and truck 
brakes well-maintained (and tires, including air pressure, as well).
