How to Put Energy in the Lazy Horse

Horse is not dull at all .
How many horses have you ridden through your life ?
Stop spreading disinformation.

I have a horse a
I use for barrel racing but when he gallops I KNOW he can go way faster so I kick him but he dosent go any faster would you recommend spirs if I be gentle with him?

so..THATS a lazy horse??????You should meet my schoolhorses!!!! ;)

My horse could NOT care less. He picks up his walking pace maybe a tiny bit but then goes back to his zombie pace. Or stops completely. The only thing I can do as a last resort is use the crop which gets him moving, but rarely ever a trot. Ugh

This horse IS forward my horse is nothing like this.

I just got a retired trail horse who ignores all cues given to him. He learned this from all of the horrible writer who rode him in the past. I have no idea how to get him going or turn. Most of the he stands doing nothing. Please help!

dont ever use spurs

I learned about workouts thanks to Unflexal workouts.

What should you do when:
1- Horse doesn't give you any more when you ask for it
2- Horse decides additional aides means you should stop and stand (bad attititude)

I don't have a horse but the horse I ride is fine with trotting, but she doesn't want to lope! I kick her as hard as I can after doing it softly, but she still won't listen! Please help me i really want to lope on her! She's not my horse

I DON'T THINK YOU NEEE SPURS TO GET ANY HORSE MOVING FORWARD , GIVING THE HORSE PROPER TRAINING YOU CAN DO ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE WITHOUT THE USE OF SPURS . FOR ME THIS IS CRULE TO THE HORSE HAVING SOMETHING SHARP STUCK IN YOUR RIBS.

I MEANT I DONT THINK YOU NEED SPURS

but I don't spurs...

Just out of curiosity, due to the fact that I'm not too familiar with western style tack or western anything for that matter, what type of bridle is he using cause it doesn't seem like it has a bit? Is it similar to a hackmore where pressure is applied to the bridge of the nose?

I have no issue getting my horse to walk and trot (unless I'm not using spurs, then it's a battle), but I can't get him to go from the trot to the canter. If he does decide to canter, he gets upset over it and either:
1. Starts to buck
2. Breaks into a gallop
3. Refuses to stay on the rail and goes where he wants despite my signals.
What should I do about this?

thank you so much for sharing! Always great to see clips that folk so generously share for free! Love the stop in the bosal!
Feeling inspired again to ride a certain reluctant fella. Thank you.

My hlrse literally understands like English he listens to whatever you say

my horse doesn't want to work at home but when we take her out then she does but i want her to work at home please help

Oh my. Same old, same old. Spurs and whip.

Spurs are terrible... they do more harm than good!

Ok u call that a lazy horse?

my horse wouldnt even blink. sadly he is able to ignore you. he doesnt fight its like he is masochist he just takes it. and he knows what i want

if there's one available, can you show a video on how to deal with a hot headed horse? my friend is at a wall with hers. every single ride is like they're entering a race. all vetting and chiro work aside

I have you all beat I have a 5 year old stud quarter horse and he is lazy and I mean lazy he won't lunge move forward with me on his back I'm at my wits end with him but I haven't gave up yet

My horse is absolutely not lazy or quiet.

Everything In Your Video Was Good Advice But You Need To Put You Feet Back Because you are Supposed To Be Inline ( Shoulder, Elbow, Heels ) Good Arena Equitation To Be Shoulders, Elbow, Heels .

Solution, sell lazy horse and buy a very forward horse that I would be far happier with. (The one I have is a perfect example of a very forward horse)

The horse that I ride has no response to my crop, any tips?

Would be better if you were on a very lazy horse , and I mean lazy, to demonstrate from the beginning.

Spurs are disgusting... I don't care what you say, it's painful for the horse and is only gonna turn a horse into a cautious, fragile, SUPER sensitive, and spooky horse. In my opinion, The only reason Spurs should EVER be used is style, not abuse

Yay my horse won’t even work

Interesting watch and I like the idea but my horse is so stubborn he doesn’t respond to any of these if he doesn’t feel like it. He will ignore a whip as much as he ignores my leg or voice. Any tips?

Are you tapping the shoulder???

My horse is fast I just wish it was faster it definitely has energy tho but I want it faster bc I wanna win races between my sister bc we like to race on are driveway to the farm ( long gravel road )

This video done 6 years ago and I hit the thumbs up and made it 666 thumbs up. Wow... Lol

beautiful horse!

It is interesting that this horse is blowing hard at the beginning of the video. So, a helpful tip is to throughly warm up your horse and then practice. My large boned horse requires twenty minutes of slow warm before we get these results. And he is exactly a slow and lazy horse. So, a bit of gimmicky here. Warm your slow horse up slowly, and then ask for response. I find this approach works best. Good luck. Ask light, ask firm, tell, ask light does work.

Bruh my mare is so freaking lazy she didn’t even want to stand up so we were late for her dressage competition so I had to call all of the strong people at my stable to get her standing up and this helped me get her energy up a bit 😇




Edit: my guy friend had to get his stallion to get her to run into the trailer LOL

My 3 1/2 yr old walking horse,is refusing to cooperate in the round pen ,did great with the trainer,and when I was there ,now he could care less,at first he had an attitude,but now extremely dull,

Hi, so I need some tips on how to get your lazy horse to turn in the cutting cow?

The horse is not lazy at all! Why doesn't he use a horse that really doesn't want to move forward? That would be more beneficial to the viewer who has logged in to find out how to put energy into a lazy horse!!!

By labeling the horse as 'lazy', that means one is blaming the horse. It is not the horse. It is the person.

When I got my horse the owner said he is stubborn and lazy. He took the saddle so easily but he was having a little trouble with the bit and he would not go forward like I said. The owner also said the horse has not been ridden for 2 years. He dose not kick or buck nothing like that he’s just stubborn.

Used this technique on my 5 y/o quarter horse gelding today; he's highly trained but had a long break and got lazy-- deadsided, attitude, etc. Used my dressage stick once or twice and he pretty much immediately reverted back to the responsive horse he was before-- this method was just the extra nudge I needed to get him back in action. 10/10.

Very good, I have a 10 year old who is super sweet. My son rides him but he is lazy and doesn't want to walk foward with me. I will try this technique

I tried a whip and Spurs but my mare still refuses to run

Where exactly did you touch him with the stick? It looks like the flank is where the stick is… but that can get a little sketchy. Maybe not for a lazy horse… but I’m bummed you were going to show us what to do and then did it when the camera was on the other side

Gosh every sport is different. I guess when you see my canter you must consider it awful and I myself don’t like this one that much. But hey, that’s why they’re different disciplines. There’s not one better than the other, just different.

Personally I don't want my horse breaking into a lope off of a simple cluck, why not just a trot? Once he starts to move in a trot I either cluck again or add some leg pressure. If I need to take off at a gallop it's going to be cued from leg pressure, body language and spur if needed. Just my thought's and everyone has their opinion.

here in Montana we always say I rather have a horse thats a little lazy....then a little crazy.
