They put their head between their front legs( at times laying their fore head on the ground) and shift their weight to the rear. This stretches their neck and back muscles also assisting with their suppleness. This is no failure. His rider guides and gently coaxes this movement out of him. Perhaps if our failures were seen by our fellow workers as deliberate "stretches to increase suppleness" we'd all be taking a bow without fear. In dressage horses are often taught to do a circus bow.
