Gooseneck conversion?

Hi, I have a 24ft bumper pull, 2 horse trailer with living quarter in the front. This is a very heavy trailer and used to be a gooseneck trailer, why anyone turned it into a bumper pull, Is beond me.

Anyway, they left the axles way back-there under the horses, which leave a lot of weight on my truck, Cheverolet CK2500. It sags sonsiderably in the back end, we use it with load levelers right now. The truck handles a lot better when my 2 horses are in there and theres about 3,000lbs over the axles.

I want to make it easier on my truck or for future trucks and turn the trailer back into a goose neck. I thought of buying a wrecked older trailer and cutting off the gooseneck, or getting a kit. I would have it professionally done.

Any ideas? Has anyone done this before? I have seen trailers turned gooseneck before, but I'm causiouse, I don't want to loose my trailer and horses over a screw up. Thanks
