In the video 'Baroque Equestrian Games & Institute: Square Turns', Karen demonstrated a really valuable exercise for lightening the forehand and creating engagement and mobility.

This exercise can be done in a very basic way, and can ultimately be done with high degrees of collection and at the trot and canter.
