A class 5 hitch with long extension can handle 1,200 lbs tongue depending on the hitch. Horse trailers tend to have the wheels all the way to the rear which puts a lot more weight onto the front of the trailer - where typical campers cargo trailers have axles more towards the center than the rear.
Use a longer trailer tongue if you can. You can have those extended by a welder. The risk is hitting the camper in turns (and when off-roading, which horse ppl dont seem to do other than a field).
Most extensions only see 300 pounds or so from campers or cargo trailers which is not as great as a heavy horse trailer with horses will make
