She's now really sore, kicking anytime touched on the right hand side behind the saddle, below the spine. Going to the vet tomorrow, but starting to worry will be a rerun of last years 6 weeks rest in middle of event season, anyone had anything similar or anything to suggest?

She's had her back done last week, physio said she would be rideable by the weekend, at the mo she is barely groomable!
Saddle can't be currently checked as she is so sore, and she hasn't been ridden for a week.

not sure, behaviour wise she has been good, last year after a poor season eventing she had her back checked and it was sore, this would be around august time, then it has reoccured now but much worse and different?
Am wondering about ovaries, been trying to locate a diagram with their rough positioning on it, but cant, would this be in the correct placE?

vet says not kidneys or ovaries, has taken a liver test but reckons she has sprained something.
So two weeks rest and then see, exactly what we were dreading although he doesn't think it is anything serious. Takes out at least the first event though and easter hols which is very annoying but not much you can do about it
Thanks for the thoughts!
