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.
Two important considerations are the horse trailer's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and the towing capacity for the vehicle. The GVWR is the weight rating the axles underneath the trailer are capable of towing. The GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) simply means how much weight you are towing including the weight of the trailer, horses and gear. All weights below are approximate and can vary from your actual trailer significantly. We recommend to weigh your trailer on a scale to determine the actual weight.
