I have a Dutch Warmblood that is sooooo lazy and spooky its ridiculous!!

When i bought him, he was a bit of a handful with previous owner, she said to give him no more than a handful of Coolmix at feed time!

I have had him now about 18 months and he is so lazy, when i go to competitions he falls asleep tied to the trailer!!

He is currently on 2kg a day of D & H Staypower Cubes, Naf Pink Powder and Garlic!!

He has a very nervous temperament too and can nap and weave!! Not all the time i must add!! When we go to competition he is very hesitant and is murder for refusing at jumps, its like he just cannot be bothered, no matter what i do!!

He is fine teeth, back and saddle!!
 
From what you have posted it sounds like a training issue, not a feed issue. It may also just be his temperament.
