Bending is the flexing of the horse around a certain point. That point can be the rider's leg, poles as in the sport of pole bending, barrels for barrel racing, ect. The point being, the horse's back and neck should be limber enough to be able to bend comfortably and is essential to higher levels of riding. I use flexing as a warmup and cooldown and it will reduce the chance of injury in the same way runners stretch before a marathon.
