The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. In your case you will need to load the trailer with horses to get an accurate rating. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you to check out as well. You will want the loaded tongue weight of your setup to fall right in the middle of the tongue weight range of the system you use.
Once you have determined the tongue weight of your trailer check out the link I attached that will take you to a page that has all of the WD systems we offer. Once there you will need to select your tongue weight from the filter to see the properly rated systems.
