Hi Ian, the main difference is the distance between the tow hitch and the axles.
Depends on the size of the caravan...:nenau
Weight wise, probably not much difference if you have two decent horses in the horse box.

Caravans tend to be longer than horseboxes, so you will find that the caravan cuts in more, and you might need to allow for this when turning left.

We tow a 26 foot long boat trailer, and that really cuts in, if you are not careful it could be in the middle of a roundabout...

You won't really notice much difference, but you will need some towing mirrors, as legally, you have to see beyond the edge of the caravan, thus improving rearward vision.

Hope it helps,
best regards,
Rustic

Plus it's a lot more difficult to get the horse through the caravan door!

I was always told that the only daft question is the one that you don't ask.

That could be b******s though :lol
