average horse trailer weight
Once you know how much your trailer weighs you must add the weight of the horses being hauled in it and any equipment, feed, water, etc. For instance, we can start with a two horse tag-along trailer that weighs 2400 lbs. including mats and options. One horse weighs 1000 lbs. and another weighs 1500 lbs. Add 50 lbs. for one bale of hay and another 50 lbs. for one saddle and bridle and a small tack box. The GVW is 5000 lbs.
