Swollen flanks likely mean that something is wrong and the horse needs to be looked at by a equine vet quickly to determine what is wrong. A horses flanks could swell up from pressure, or an infection and the problem could be compounded by a riders weight on their back, making it look even worse. Again contact a vet for an accurate diagnosis.
