Where do you find the trailer plate (showing max laden weight)?

Question in the title - please. Also, do some older trailers not have a plate - what happens with the law in this incidence?

My friend has a trailer I can borrow (unladen weight 850kg + my horse 450kg = 1300kg+bits/bobs). According to 'google searches' her trailer has a maximum laden weight of 2,300kg, however, my car has a max tow weight of 2000kgs. But there is no plate, so where would I stand?

Thanks
 
In trouble, because the police are just as capable of looking up the max weight as you are I'm afraid
