Dana, I asked Hubby (nicely) to get the trailer out and to check the tires, floor, etc., so I can make an appointment to take Topper to the vet. I need to find out what, if anything, can be done to make him feel better. After the heavy rains on Sunday night, he was super on Monday morning. He was collected and traveling like a sound horse. Then he hit harder ground and started moving more cautiously. He is worth the cost of a vet, though. The new horse vet for the area is pretty reasonable price wise, but I think I should take him to a vet who has a lot of years of experience with Standardbreds. Whatever is wrong with this horse, he should be able to tell me. Topper's manners are excellent and he has a good mind and, darn, I like him. His markings sure do make him an eye catcher.
