Meg travelled down from College with another pony,of similar weight, in a double hunter towed by a Freelander, and it seemed to tow very well, both ponies were very happy on the journey. I know little about kerb weights etc though.
Peg used to be very bad to travel, she would go right down. Changing trailers helped - she gets on much better with our cheval liberte than the ifor we had. Even now she always has to travel on the right hand side!
We never quite worked out what it was that set her off. She does still sometimes come out sweaty, although she now travels quietly.

You can never know what experiences horses have had travelling, especially when the owners aren't all that honest or forget what they consider to be little things.. Like partions falling onto the horse when they were put into someone elses lorry to go to a competition some miles away.
Or travel a new travelling young 4 yr old horse for manyhours, leaving them stood in a trailer in a service station while they catch up with a long lost friend. With no thought of getting the animal home quickly. And then wondering why loading has become an issue. For some horses this might not have been an issue. Who can tell with a young horse.. but it has a lower level of consideration for the horse that I would entertain
Travelling has no hard and fast rules, and so many find somethings acceptable while others think that they are not. Everything is worth a try
