Does your horse feel sluggish, unmotivated, or “lazy” under saddle? It’s easy to assume your horse is just being difficult — but more often, low energy is a sign that something is wrong physically, mentally, or emotionally.
In this episode of The Happy Rider Healthy Horse Podcast, I share my personal journey with my own horse, who went from being labeled a “lazy stallion” to moving with energy, softness, and joy — all by uncovering and addressing the real causes behind his lack of response.
We’ll explore the most common reasons horses can appear lazy, from saddle fit and body imbalances to pain, overpressure, and even learned helplessness. You’ll learn how to investigate what’s going on with your own horse, plus practical steps to help your horse feel better, move better, and enjoy your time together.
