Not slacking multitasking
so the suggestion of 2 schooling whips simultaneously won't be a good one?

sometimes they never work. I had one that if he didn't feel like going I could pony club kick with long spurs and hit with 2 whips and he would just grunt in pain
Does he lung? the only thing I found that worked was to get someone to chase us with a lunge whip and praise when he went forward
or you could try a whip wop

Just incase you haven't tried it, try not using your leg at all for a while, and then just as he backs off , put both your legs on firmly and if he doesn't respond, give him a tap up with the whip.
It takes a fair bit of perserverance (is that word really that long?!) but it does pay off after a while

no spurs, just endless transitions!! and only use your legs to make him go, not to keep him going,
