=================================================
Do
horses sleep standing up?
It's believed that in order to get a deep, REM sleep, they need to lay down. You can sometimes find a horse stretched out on its side, asleep in the sun, or laying on the ground with its legs folded under. When horses are in groups, they will often take turns 'guarding' each other as they rest, with one horse standing up near the sleeping horse. This behavior would help to keep a wild horse from being attacked during a nap.
