the short answer is no.
horses get fully functioning sleep standing up,
however if they are in a situation where they feel completely safe with no threat they may opt to lay down.
you will notice in a herd of horses if most of the herd is lying down there will always be a few standing, this helps them to feel safe and secure, as the horses that are alert will warn them of any approaching threat.

The pony i own won't sleep why?
How do you know your pony doesn't sleep? Unless you're watching closely 24 hours a day, you might just miss him sleeping. I bet he does and you just haven't noticed. Horses usually sleep standing up. One of my horses fell asleep while the farrier was trimming his feet... his eyes closed, lip got loose and he was in zzzzz land. A horse also sleeps lying down but only if he feels safe and secure since lying down is a vulnerable position for a horse. I've read that horses only dream when they sleep lying down. If your pony doesn't have a herd, he may not feel lying down is safe.
