If it weren't mine, I wouldn't hesitate to take a 1/2 ton over it.

Horse and rider, might go 1500 lbs - double the length-wise beams and use 2"x4"s for decking, set with the 1.5" edge horizontal and the 3.5" edge vertical. That ought to double the capacity and handle a heavy point source like a hoof.

P.S. I'd feel better about it if the ends of the beams didn't taper as much.
