I would like to add it into the riding later on as well for flexibility but let's get it good from the ground first. Lets talk basics about the movement  "shoulders in" .

 

Benefits:

·      Increase your drive/ Respect

·      Increase their balance

·      Put weight on hind end

·      Flex in neck

I like to play shoulders in early with the young horses. It is great for "building" adding weight on their hind and to become more flexible. But the big part is to control the shoulder.
