get your dressage horse really supple?

I kind of do alot of transitions, 20m circles, 10m circles, figure of 8s, serpentines etc (not sure if leg yielding or turn on the forehand counts)

Is there any other good suppling exercises or tips you would like to pass on, that would be brilliant!!

leg-yielding does count- one of the main things we use!
shoulder in and the other things you mentioned.

just time and repetition, no miracle suppler as long as they are working correctly and arent set and leaning or trying to evade the movements.

Grace's instructor says you can't do enough transitions, also make sure you have a good warm up before the test, half hour or so seems to really help Fifi :)
