I have a horse that was a school horse with no drive forward and 5 tons on the bit, not responsive to any spanking. What helped was riding bridle-less and loose rein rewarding every smallest forward effort by getting of first than by giving him a small rest. Now he’s a calm horse but not lazy anymore 🙂

Turned out his fetlock shoulder pelvis and hip were all troubling him everyone said he’s just lazy
Ended up ears back ect
