That doesn't make much sense to me, actually. The "horse stance" is one of your widest base stances which would make it very stable. This would mean getting into a horse stance would put you in a well "balanced" position.

But since you're not going to use it to fight, you are actually making learning balance WORSE. Learning your sense of base and balance comes from standing in unbalanced positions.
