I always wonder why people insist on towing their prized possessions (be they Cars or Horses or Boats) using a clearly inadequate tow vehicle.... Spend the money and buy a PROPER tow vehicle like a Dually or similar... You can buy them used for $5k - $8K in great working order.... Seems like money well spent to avoid exactly this kind of issue.
I know someone who had a 4 horse trailer (with 4 horses worth over $200k in it) who had the same thing happen to them.. they were using a Volvo X-Country as a tow vehicle... All the horses either died on the spot or had to be euthanized.... Madness!!!!!

Never lift when the trailer sways. Give it gas to get control then start a controlled slowdown. Once it gets going, only acceleration can save it.
It wouldn't have hurt him to have more tongue weight either.
