I'm not sure that a good, accurate assessment of cost and time would not scare me away from hiring a mover... and then there's that laziness gene...
Now the last time I did it was when we built here in 2004,
but many moves before that for 3500 sq ft of wall to wall stuff,
3 garages and a 10x20 utility building of other 'stuff' was less than $7,000
and all we had to do was pack up the stuff we were concerned about and point to which room it went to !
Good luck, and hope to never move again !!! but we do rv, so I guess we move a LOT

Not sure where you are located - and need the trailer brought to - but I have seen both on craig's list and on U-ship people will move the trailer almost for free - as long as they are allowed to transport some of their belongings in the trailer on the way out.

We purchased a GN 34' enclosed trailer in preparation for our next move. When we moved out here from New England, it cost over $8k, and I still had to move most of my tools separately. That was 11 years ago. Now we'll be able to move all of our household stuff, tools, and our car in the trailer, and have storage once we arrive. Much cheaper than paying a moving company, and we can sell it in the future if we decide we no longer need it. I pulled it back home 300 miles over some good sized mountains empty, and got 14 MPG.

I looked all summer for a used GN like described by the OP. If I could have found a deal like that...$5500 for a 32 foot enclosed, 22500 GVW... I would have scarfed up on that in a heartbeat!
Just my $.02 worth

If the GN horse trailer's tack room is a benefit to you later, the tack room can certainly be packed full enough of smaller things to still be useful for the move. Let the wife have it as her special place for all of her stuff she doesn't want you to pack.
