How to encourage a horse to stretch down

[gable]

We have been doing ok at prelim dressage but I keep getting comments on my trot and canter that he needs to stretch down more?

Any exercises or ideas folks?

More getting him to work from behind and accept the contact....

Will be watching this one with interest as Dizz will stretch down in the walk, but anything after that and it's either overbend or make like a giraffe

Mine is the same - in walk he stretches beautifully, pop him into trot and he either overbends or pokes his nose out.
