You need something that can tow 3.5ton to tow that safely, even with the lightest. I could probably get away with it on the lighter models with 1 horse in just with my L200, but it only tows 2700kg and theres no way I would risk damage to my horse or my truck by attempting to tow it. You think the lightest is over 1600kg, add in two horses that are probably going to be around 600kg each, you're at 2800kg already. Add in driver, passenger/s, fuel, tack, etc. Pushing your luck with anything that can tow less than 3.5ton. Its too dangerous and you'll just damage the car in the long run so it will end up costing you more money.

The driver, passengers fuel and tack (maybe, if there's no tack locker) will be in the car, not being towed so they will form the car's GVW not the trailer weight or MAM.
