Backward/lazy warmblood.. at my wits end
 

I?ve recently purchased a 11yo German warmblood to BS. She has a good record and a hell of a lot of scope and ability.. but she is so lazy it?s becoming very hard work. Whip/spurs make no difference, I?ve tried feeding her up. Nothing. I can hot her up on a fun ride (but it takes half the ride to do it) Beach gallops.. will not gallop.. just canters. Gallops.. we can get a gallop but it takes us needing a racehorse to lead! *hangs head*. I?ve varied her work load, we play around XC, we go for hacks. She?s fit as a fiddle, she?s sound and happy. Saddle/teeth/back all done and fine. Am I fighting a lost cause?
