Help For Secret Weapon aka Levi

Can anyone help this gorgeous Thoroughbred?









I have a 10 yr old 16h OTTB that I've owned for 6 years. He is in good condition, very friendly, active, and LOVES people. He was put on the back burner for a couple of years due to my client and competition horses. Unfortunately, when I brought him back to work we encountered soundness issues. He is 100% sound in the pasture, but very short in the left front undersaddle. I have had multiple vets look at him and they are unsure of what is causing it. He flexes completely sound and does not palpate sore anywhere in his body. The next step is a bone scan. I cannot invest that much money in a diagnostic test and am looking to find a home for him. When he was going undersaddle he was schooling 1st level dressage and jumping around small (2'6") courses. Can you help me place him? If you cannot help personally, do you have any suggestions?



Secret Weapon (Levi) is a 10 year old 16 hand registered off the track thoroughbred gelding. He is 100% sound and comfortable in the pasture, but is unsound undersaddle. He has been ridden and shown in the past. We have had multiple vets, farriers, chiropractors, and massage therapists look at him. None of them have provided a permanent solution. Therefore, he is just suitable as a companion horse right now. He is an incredibly sweet and personable horse. He comes running when you call him in from the pasture. Will let you love on him all day long. Loves treats and LOTS of attention. Easy to load/tie/crosstie/clip/etc. He is the clown of the barn and loves to play (with anything!). He is well-behaved in the stall and in the pasture. He can be turned out with mares and geldings.
