The basic exercise you can do to improve the horses bending/tension in the neck is to trot figure eights. Before you do this though, you should gently bend the horses neck to its shoulder both sides. You can also do a bit of barrel racing.

What does bending mean in horse riding?

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.
