In this video Grand Prix dressage rider Nicola Buchanan from Great Britain shares her best tips for riding lazy horses. This one is all about not nagging your horse with your leg aids, but rather ask fewer times with bigger reactions. Consistency is key for your horse to become more responsive.

Very helpful for me as I have an older horse who tend to be lazy until he’s well worked .I have fallen into the habit of nagging and this has reminded me what to work on to avoid it spoiling him THANKS

Interesting and good insight. However, that's nowhere near what I would consider a lazy horse. I wish all 'lazy' horses were like this! 😂
