Collection starts with the engagement of the horse's hocks. To engage the hocks drive the horse forward with your legs. This is not easy. It takes a lot of muscle. Don't take hold of the horse's mouth until his hocks are underneath him, and he is tracking up. This should help to lighten up his front end by shifting the weight to the hind end. With his hocks under him and his front end lighter the horse can now swing his shoulder more freely. Now is the time to ask for some collection. Take hold of his mouth gently while you continue to push him forward with your legs. Don't get frustrated if you don't get it all at once. At first it comes and goes. Before long you will be able to feel the change by how his mouth feels through the reins. His mouth will be softer and you won't need to pull on his face. To collect the horse has to use the muscles in his topline. He will need to build these muscles gradually so he doesn't get sore. This is a big step in your riding skills but once you master it, it takes your riding to a new level.
