  • @MrCroPDOG you really are stupid, don't you? horses are lying down by themselves like all the time! they sleep in that positition. you shouldn't say anything if you don't know anything.

  • Horses were built to sleep standing up... they are in danger to preditors when they ar laying down. And yes their bodies are too heavy to support the weight lying down for long periods of time. Don't care what major a person has.... Someone that grows up around horses can know just as much if not more then a college graduate!

  • @Hantarrrrr :D yep

  • @mijte that comment is a year old. i am aware i was mistaken but congratulations, you sure showed me. lol

  • @Hantarrrrr Do you watch these horses 24/7? I didnt think so..if you did I'd be worried about you. Horses Sleep laying down when they have nothing to be concerned about..Meaning, no other animals around..People..When they feel safe.

  • @cowgirlupgood You're crazy..Yeah they sleep standing up SOMETIMES..They also lay down and sleep in the sun..they roll around..They sit.. They lay down when they want to..Being on their sides for a long time..Like hours..Will; eventually damage them..but they arent stupid..If something is hurting them..They'll show it.

  • @Hantarrrrr Really, I'm an equine major. We studied the sleep habits of a horse. Everyone needs a certain amount of REM sleep. A lot lie down when there is no activity around them (hence you aren't there to see) because that is when they are most vulnerable. They may not get into that sleep every day/night but need the more they get it the better.

  • @jumpersaw Really now? I've known many horses that never slept lying down, are you sure about this? Do horses need a certain amount of REM sleep? Huh, learn something everyday!

  • @Hantarrrrr Actually horses can only get into a REM sleep if they are laying down. The deepest sleep must be laid out flat with the legs stretched out straight. My mares choose to lie more than stand for their naps. It's a common misconseption that horses shouldnt lay down. In order for it to damage it must be an extremely long amount of time, and horses don't normally sleep for periods long enough to cause any pain.

  • wow, this horse isn't a dog ya' know! ;L
