Yes this one has a lot of energy for sure. I think she will make a great endurance or proformance horse for someone. So she's gonna need a person who can handle that energy. that's why I think it's a good example of what to look for and understand in this type of horse.
So, for the opposite- say, a horse that is quite lazy/not forward on the lunge. What would you suggest? She responds great to my energy level, which is awesome, but sometimes I really have to raise my energy level to get her to go to trot and especially canter. I really want her to trot but be relaxed, however often she has trouble having good impulsion while relaxing at the same time.
Great question. Some horses are just a little harder to get going and you may have to use stronger pressure. Like learning how to Crack the whip. Once they learn you won't make them, they usually will continue the habit. You have to just keep at it , or move to a round pen and get impulsion off the line. Here's one of the more lazy horses, ua-cam.com/video/IVRFmnCnjtk/v-deo.htmlsi=g360UEDWagL1Nfmk Also work on transions, quick turns, and add obstacles.

This horse's energy level reminds me of my own horse. :) Nice video!
