I have towed a horsebox compleate with two horses without any problem with my 2.5 Omega quite a few times

Don't horses ever get car sick?  If you made me stand in a swaying box where I couln't see where I was going I'd chuck up all over the place! :o

Well,took the trailer out for a test run today-beach tomorrow!! Must say the meega is a beauty to tow with - trailer is a double axle 2 horse trailer.Didn't feel it pushing me down gradients etc.  To horrify MV6 owners - will post a pic with trailer complete with horses !!

Thats probably why they dont.....coz they carnt see where they are going!

Thats what makes people seasick....they can see the horizon or the what evers out the window....which appears to stay still....but the movement of the boat isnt still.....so confusing messages to the brain.....eyes say still....body says moving.....result...not good.
If you do suffer with seasickness its best to find somewhere inside the boat with no windows!!

I however dont get seasick......and in rough weather....always make for the restaurant......its usually empty.....order a cooked breakfast....you usually get loads as they carnt get rid of it.....tho can be tricky sometimes stopping the plate sliding of the table  ;D

I tow a rather large boat ( over 1.5 tons fully loaded with equipment lunch box etc )behind my 2.5 and it tow like a dream. I notice from your post that you take your horses to the beach. I have to tow across the beach to access  my launch site, and have found (if yours is an auto also)the snow setting on the gearbox very useful to prevent the rear wheels digging in when setting off
