Work on a circle at E/B. Get him settled in trot and working forward into your contact. Your thumbs control the length of your reins, when you have a good contact you'll feel your horse push into it as you use your legs. To allow him to stretch, relax your thumbs and let your reins slide through your hands. Your horse will follow the contact until it stops moving or until he feels unbalanced. If he is, he'll tighten his back. You'll feel the pressure in your hand lighten. Put your thumb back down so he feels secure, ride half a circle and take up the reins.
