Try this little experiment: Spend some time doing a turn on the forehand in hand (on the ground), so you can really watch what happens to your horses body when he steps underneath himself with his inside hind leg. While he may remain hollow at first in tension, as he relaxes into the exercise you will usually see him naturally becoming rounder in his body, and therefore lowering his head and neck. You will also likely see him chewing the bit softly. This is an example of how changing the back and the hind legs positively affects the front end.
