Location: Baker, FL | According to https://dcd96xmek71bc.cloudfront.net/trailerlife.com/2012_towing_gui... which is linked from https://www.trailerlife.com/trailer-towing-guides/, the towing capacity of your truck is 9600 lbs.
You need to determine what the fully loaded weight of your trailer is.
I pull my 2014 (all aluminum) 3H GN Shadow with LQ with my F150 all the time. Considerations: I upgraded the brakes, suspension and tires to be safe and I live in Florida where it's flat! | |

Location: North Carolina | Are you going to have three horses ? The 3.42 axle ratio will boil your transmission. The gas money you save will go to repairs. | |

Location: missouri | Not enough BRAKING POWER.... step up to at least a 3/4 ton for safety if you care about your horses. Or, you can learn the hard way like the rest of them. Sorry, good luck.

Location: Minnesota | Pulling is not the issue. Sure it will pull it.
Control and braking is the issue you should be conccerned with and the answer to both are NO.
