On our BH if we put one horse in the middle and one in the back, it unloaded the hitch and would not tow well. We would either put one in the front and one in the rear, or one in the middle and one in the front and it worked well.
With the gn trailers, it doesn't matter, but we usually use the front stalls because they are easier to load.

With ours, my wife and I usually put one in front and one in back. Normally, the front tack room is loaded heavy enough that I think we would have plenty of tongue weight with one in middle and one in back. The axles are slightly forward of the centerpoint between the middle and back stalls. But if the back horse turns around (no rear tack) or jumps, it could unload the hitch. Better safe than sorry.
