I'm sure the reason you didn't get any responses was because everyone 
was out riding & not in front of their computers.  To me, the answer has 
as much to do with how you feel about driving after finishing 2 days of 
riding.  I prefer to rest that night and go home the following day, but 
work schedules and other aspects of life don't always allow that.  If 
your trailer is decent, has good springs, tires and floor and if your 
horse has recovered well, travelling 4-5 hours after finishing a ride 
shouldn't be a problem for her.  But it is you that is doing the driving 
and I wouldn't risk being too tired to make good decisions on the road.
