Best Answer

The horse stance is a fundamental position in Asian martial arts. The width and depth varies from technique to technique. It doesn't really have a combative edge since it makes you unstable forwards and backwards although you have a great deal of stability on your sides. It's also not very good in combat since your legs are spread and supporting your weight equally which makes it not very mobile.

The horse stance is great for increasing leg strength. Especially the quadriceps as they contract in various places trying to balance your suddenly unstable torso.
