Well for the past few days Belvedere has been at Hartpury Therapy centre where he has been ridden by local eventer Tor Brewer and evaluated by Liz Launders and Chris Rea.
From what I can gather the conclusion is that the main problem is somewhere between his shoulders and his loins. When Belvedere had physio sessions with Sarah Price in july-october she said that ''despite a lack of muscle in certain areas and some weakenss he has always been symmetrical both skeletally and muscularly''. Both Liz and Chris noticed immediately that he was most certainly not symmetrical... So to try and find the route of the problem he is having x-rays on Wednesday also because Chris says there may still be something nagging him in his hock he will have that x-rayed as well. We are hoping that the x-rays will show something up because other wise the next step will be a bone scan, which will be highly expensive. Unfortunately Chris did say that even if they find anything it may not be something treat-able.. So **fingers crossed** for my baby.

On the plus side, Tor said that she really likes belvedere, that he is a very nice horse and she hopes we can fix him.
