Like a lot of horse trailers yours has a single center landing gear jack.

What you can do is replace the jack with a dual jack setup like the powered Reese kit part # RP500708 which has a 8,000 lbs capacity.

It will require a bit of fabrication though since the new jacks would need to be mounted on the sides of the trailer and not in the middle. It looks like you'd have to relocate the bracket that's on the trailer as well.

Another option is the Bulldog Velocity Series Electric Landing Gear Jack - 24" Lift - 12,000 lbs # BD185402 which is a bolt on application if you just want to replace the center jack.
