With a slant load, you need 14' of box length for three horses in stalls. If the horses are loose, it may be enough room for four. 16' would be better.

18' length seems to be standard length for box length on slants for 4H. At least when attached to a LQ, and of course, there's some variation in this...

Are you talking BP or GN? A BP will have some of that length used up in the curve of he nose, so comparing two trailers with the same dimension will not be accurate.

I have a 22' Elite Stock Combo, it's laid out with a 4' DR, 6' dog box area, and a 12' stock area. I pull 4 walking / saddle horses in the 12' area all the time. I pull with heads on the street side. If I put them in head to butt I can get 5 in the 12' area for short hauls of an hour or two.

Width is going to play a big role in how big the 13 feet is. I can put 6 in the 16 feet of horse area on my trailer, it's also a full 8 feet wide on the interior..... no way that would work if it was only 7 feet wide.
