Stand up straight then put your legs apart making sure that your feet are facing forward.
Be aware of your torso, make sure that your spine is straight and your posture is flat.
Bend your knees and lower the upper body as if you were sitting on horseback. The lowness of the stance varies in Kung Fu styles, mainly northern and southern: northern is a more relaxed higher stance whereas southern is right down near the ground. Be aware not to put your knees forward or outward over the toes.
Make sure your feet are still facing forward,your body is still straight and your hips are loose.
To train yourself further with using this stance, first find a stick, assume the horse stance and then place the stick on top of your knees.
Hold your arms outward, palms parallel to your body.
Be mindful of your posture and don't let the stick fall.
Finished.
