I doubt a human could do this. A horse has a mechanism in their legs that locks up their leg and allows them to sleep standing up without their legs crumpling under them. It also helps that they have four legs to stand on. A human would have to have supurb balance and be able to lock their legs up and keep them that way, even in their sleep.
yes a horse can get a leg amputated but most people wouldn't do that to a horse bc they will suffer a lot.
yes a horse does sleep.
