These questions are for a 4-Horse Gooseneck Slant Load with unfinished dressing room (7.5' wide with mangers and wheel wells in horse stalls).  When hauling one horse, which stall is best to ensure proper weight balance?  Is it safe to remove one partition between Stalls 2 and 3 and haul one horse that way (over the axles)?  If not, can one horse be hauled in the fourth slot so that the wheel wells are not affecting the rear legs of the horse?  Thank you.

With a GN trailer, a single horse can be loaded into the rear stall. There will still be enough pin weight to maintain a proper trailer tracking.
