He may be lazy but if he's off balance and feels akward, you do have to cut him (a little) slack. I'm not saying let him get away with it, but if he's increasing his speed and trotting fast, he IS trying. Are you posting at his fast trot? If it's a balance issue, work him at a nice fast trot for awhile untill his fitness level goes up... And try to encourage rather than punish at this point, because it
is
new to him, he's just starting to learn and has to figure things out.
I'm all for the "Ask, tell, demand" method with a horse who already knows his job, but you have to cut a horse who's just learning a little slack or they're going to hate their jobs.
