I need some expert advice ?? I have a 2021 Cimarron 4 horse trailer with 12’ short wall LQ. I had the trailer stud wall moved back to the second stall, and the wall was built to the ceiling - effectively making this a two horse trailer with a large mid tack. I will try to include a picture for reference. I usually haul my horse (1200lbs) in the third stall. However, the wheel well protrudes into that stall, and her shoes have torn up the corner/rubber of the wheel well. I don’t care about the torn rubber, I do care about her comfort while being hauled, and if this isn’t comfortable for her (hind feet are crowded) then I want to try to fix it. Finally to my question: can I safely haul her in the last stall? There is so much weight in the LQ, that it seems like it would be okay, but she won’t be over the axles.

Sure. Last stall will be fine. Might not be quite as smooth as the middle ones, but I doubt enough to make any difference. With a LQ, the chance of too little tongue weight just isn't an issue
