I just want to know some opinions on this. I am experimenting with trailers right now, trying to buy a different one. I'm looking at a 2 horse slant load bumper pull. I usually haul just 1 horse and was wondering if I put her in the back stall of the trailer, would that be a bad thing to have all of the weight in the back of the trailer? The reason I ask is because my horse is quite large length and width wise and gets really squished into the front stall (the one against the wall) of a slant load. Appreciate any insight on this. Thanks!

If she's a big horse in a small trailer, then let her have both stalls. Tie her up front in the first stall and leave the partition open, gives her some extra room to swing her butt around.

I agree with the above statement, but to answer your question, no it wont hurt a thing.  she will be placed right over the axles that way
