I don't see any forward/down here. His head is BTV, his mouth is open and looking for more room. I'm sorry, but this horse does not look like a happy camper.
Really sad. This horse is almost allways behind the virticle. This is backwards dressage. It's hard to see on this video but it seems like the horse is a worried lip flipper. The horse needs to be ridden into steady connection.
This was an exercise to help the horse move forward energetically while allowing him to stretch over his back. He would be worked forward/down then collected and brought "up". It's only a schooling exercise; the horse would not be ridden like tis in an actual test.

I don't understand..
Why is the horse not allowed to bring his head up and/or out at all?
In a dressage test this would be considered behind the vertical (BTV).
Did your trainer explain the reasons for using this method as I would be interested to know?
