"4 horse Aluminum gooseneck with a tack room" is the object to be pulled.
Aluminum isn't the issue, the total weight is.
What does this weigh when loaded with the 4 horses and tack?
How much will be loaded in the truck including us people?
I can only talk in generalities until I know those answers.
When talking in generalities I usually err on the side of "bigger."
I also don't get too close to my max capacities, maybe 85-90%. BTW, I found that I had much underestimated how much weight I was carrying in the tack room when I weighed it all once last year.
I hate driving with a live load and worrying about stuff. It takes all the fun of the trip away for me.
