Yes. To a horse, the herd means safety and survival. If he is all alone, the chances of him living are slim. He won't have to time to sleep because he won't have anyone to look out for predators while he rests. That's the main thing. He won't have other horses for companionship. Without other horses, he will constantly be stressed and he won't sleep- this will take a huge toll on him. He also doesn't have a lead mare to show him good water and food, and without all these things, he will live a miserable (and in the wild, a short) life.
Yes, horses do lay down to sleep, but it is less common for them to sleep in this position compared to standing up. Horses have a unique ability to sleep both standing up and laying down, and will choose their preferred position based on their level of comfort and sense of security in their environment.

Wild horses, like most horses sleep standing up. Foals take alot of naps laying down.
Arabian horses sleep like most other breeds of horses. Horses can doze on their feet and take little 'cat naps' throughout the day. They will spend a couple of hours on the ground sleeping in a 24 hour period. Most breeds of horses follow this same sleep/wake pattern.
