Secondly, it makes it possible for the horse to stay balanced through the turns when carrying a rider, reduces the loading of the inside foreleg, as well as working his neck and body muscles by alternating between stretching and contracting. Therefore, bending work has an incredible gymnasticizing effect and plays a very important role in maintaining soundness.
