I like the term low impulsion rather than lazy. I have a welsh pony who is “low impulsion,” that I use for my lesson program. She is plenty able to go just fine, but she needs the handler/rider to encourage her to get there and stay there. I also find and use transitions to warm her up before her lesson sessions and they are super valuable for her to get more responsive. Also, I would have liked to see you focus more on the horse planting his hind feet properly and working more lateral on his front end around 3:30. Maybe that’s me thinking about pivots for the show pen, but With a low energy horse, I would think making his exactness count would help them not get bored too.
Ive got one of those too! Lol. My trouble is she has EPM. Vet says shes not in pain and needs to work to build strength back in her hind end. I cant tell what is her being lazy and rude and what is her being weak and unable or too uncomfortable to do what i ask. 🙁
This usually comes down to clarity of cues and phases. We always start with as gentle as possible and escalate from there rhythmically. We work off four principles 1. As gentle as possible, but as firm as neccessary 2. Never release on a brace 3. reward the slightest try and 4 . the horse sets the timeline. How this would apply to your trouble 1. if you escalate too fast the horse becomes bothered and braces. 2. When you don't get a response while your horse is bracing, if you give up, the horse learns the brace is the right thing to do, 3 When asking for a new behaviour, we often have too high an expectation, the horse givesa half step in the right direction, but we might miss the opportunity to give release and the horse goes straight back to bracing without ever learning what the correct behaviour is. The key is to reward at even a lean in the right direction initially, and build up to the whole movement., 4. Again, if we expect too much too soon, our horse will not see a reward for the right behaviour and either shut down or become anxious
Many horses experiance toxic, foolish, mindless, abusive owners-trainers.. * I often think it would be good to have horses run with a wild herd for a month to wake back up again..
Do horse owners need to differentiate between a shut down lazy horse and one where you describe here which inherent nature is low energy. As being that way often leads to the shut downness to cope.......?
@@HeartfeltHorsemanship that would be??! I point click spank the ground stand behind the girth,nothing ,he did great with the trainer, when I bought him home nothing ,
Thank you! Quality information which helps separate from traditional methods of training horses. 👍🤠

Your videos are excellent! This channel is such a great resource, thanks for freely sharing your experience & expertise🙏🏼
Very informative!!! Thanks 🙏
Nice demonstration. What would you do with a horse that just doesn’t move at all and doesn’t react to anything flapping around her?

Exactly my problem too! Should I tap him on the hind legs or rump with the lounging whip or no?

Absolutely! Shutdown requires a different approach, of actuall having them feel confident to express themselves
He’s a pretty boy😊💛

My 4 yr old tennessee Walker knows how to longe but he will refuses to, maybe a lap or to,

Not a lazy horse. It is not the horse's fault. It is the limitations of the person working with the horse.
Not as lazy as my horse lmao
