A horse who is on its side may be sleeping, or it may be sick or in pain. A mare lays on her side to foal (give birth). A horse who has expired/died will also lay on its side. If you are worried about a horse who is on its side and does not want to get up, contact a veterinarian immediately. A horse on its side may be cast against a stall wall and need assistance. A horse on its side may also be weak, or stuck and need assistance to rise. Horses are prey animals (food) and as such are uncomfortable being in a position in which they cannot run away. A horse who is down for too long will begin to suffer damage to tissues, so getting a horse up is important.

Should you lead a horse from its left or its right side?
Yes! Even though it is said that you can only get on a horse from the near side (left side), my old man told me it is best if you train your horse to get on and off from both sides. He told me, "This is because if you were to fall off your horse and you had a broken your leg or something, and it just happens to be that you can't get on from the near side, you may stay there in pain until somebody finds you if your lucky enough if your horse wont allow you to get on from the other side." If this occurs, don't get a short tension span with the horse if he/she wont let you on... this may just be your fault for not training them to allow you to get on from both sides. Yes, you can get on from the near side if you want, but i suggest that you get on from the opposite side every now and then.
