Towing trailer for ponies -what should I get?

I am thinking of buying a car to pull an Ifor trailer, which has up to two horses it. My idea was to go for the Skoda Yeti. However, I am unsure of its towing capacity. Some directions or ideas would be most useful.

The Yeti 2.0TDI can tug 1800kg and I think your trailer with two horses inside will weigh more than that. You need to be looking at something like a KIA Sorento manual that can tug 2500kg.
