Big youngster

Hi, i have a 17.1 irish cob x tb who is 6. all he has done with his previous owner was plod around the school and no hacking so now when he goes in the school (about once or twice a fortnight) he completely switches off and is hard to get motivated. he is also quite lazy off the leg on rides. any suggestions on how to get him going off my leg more pls? back, teeth, vaccs and worming up to date and i have had him for 3 months. thanks!
