Ok I have a 5 ft by 6 1/2 foot square area in my horse trailer to make into living quarters plus the nose area what can I realistically put in this area? BTW it is a fiberglass trailer so I don't want to drill a lot of holes if I can help it.

Any and all ideas would be appreciated. I would like at least a single sink, 2 burner stove, small cabinet for storage and maybe a couch or chair, and a fridge

Go to the trailers for sale section of HTW and look at the LQ photos. They will give you an idea of what will fit in a given space and what the results will look like.

This layout will show you what I did on ours. It is a 7' short wall so if you were to draw a vertical line up from the right, that would approximate your square.
In that area to the left (front wall ) is a bench seat with cabinets below it, on the right wall is a sink (with cabinet above) next to the bench, a tall refrigerator next to it. I believe it is a 7.3 cf with a freezer. You can do a smaller one and have a counter on top of it or additional cabinets. In front of the bench seat is a removable post table.
You didn't specifically say if your trailer was a gooseneck or not, but if it is, we have a 60x72" bed with cabinets along both sides and in the nose of the trailer as shown.
Make a scale layout and use cardboard cutouts in the actual trailer before you commit to a final layout. Everything is available to do what you want, just verify the sizes of all components and use those in your layout.
