you never are. So you dont need to do it.

it may, but when you could just go do some squats or plyometric training, why would you want to sit for a few hours in horse stance, especially when the benefits are very small in comparison.

it strengthens your hip flexors which aids in developing flexibility :good:

Why would horse stance strengthen your hip flexors? Wouldn't leg raises be better?

I think it's a willpower isometrics sort of thing, builds discipline and confidence, probably helps your martial arts more than tricking though.
