You have been given two pretty good answers so far... a half ton and a three quarter ton. The answer you are looking for is found in two places... The size and weight of the trailer, and the size and weight of your horses.

Put these two factors together and you have GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). This weight figure will help you decide how big a pick-up you should be looking for.

why do you think they want to change the driving age?

Truck and trailer combined give you the CVWR (Combined Vehicle Weight Rating). This is the total capacity your vehicle will be allowed to tow including the truck itself.

If you can load the horses into your trailer, and have the trailer weighed (have a friend tow the rig to a scale and weigh it to be sure). The expense will pay huge dividends in the long run.

What is the law that says a fuel tanker has to use the pull out lane to stop at raised RRXing gate on CA Hwy?

I'd recommend a 1500. Half ton pickup. I don't recommend using something small like a Ford Ranger or S10. I know a Dodge 1500 works well. We used one ranching in Idaho to pull a 3 horse trailer on mountain roads and it worked awesome.
