Hauling 3 horses in a two horse trailer?

I bought this http://www.eclipsealuminumtrailers.com/en/straight-loads/st-sr-dr with the delux package and without the dressing room wall. I also have the Euro divider which saves weight. I figure I could haul 3 SMALLER ones or 2 mares and 1 or 2 foals in a pinch. The hauling capacity listed is 3110 lbs but I think it is slightly higher for the one without the wall. I also have 16 inch wheels.

I have a heavy duty diesel so the hay, etc would go in the truck.[/QUOTE]

The load weight for the truck is the load weight, pulling or hauling or combination. Keep that in mind.

Not necessarily true. Look at the floorplan of the trailer I posted above.[/QUOTE]

I’m not sure what your point is. I have a very similar trailer, except the area at the front (which in my case, is behind the horses), is wider. The trailer is engineered to have the axle under a certain part of the weight. Throwing a horse in that area, which is designed to be empty, will perturb that.
I specifically spoke to the manufacturer when the trailer design plans were hammered out and made a comment about putting a horse back there in an emergency, and he was not endorsing it one iota.
