turn on the shoulder from the ground
Explanation:
łopatka shoulder

As you approach the quarterline (or centerline—it doesn’t matter), slow down the front end by taking a little more with the inside (left) rein. With your inside leg and seat, bring the haunches around in a half turn on the shoulders (which is a large half turn on the forehand. I prefer to ride the “turn on the shoulder” for this exercise because in the smaller turn on the forehand, it’s too easy for the horse to bounce off the outside aids and fall in). Do this exercise slowly enough so you can allow yourself time to focus on, and be aware of where each foot is going.
