Horses typically won't lie down when it's raining due to the ground possibly becoming too slippery to get back up again. It's also a survival instinct, a horse that is laying down while it rains has a chance of not seeing, hearing, or smelling a predator in time to escape.
If they are colicing, yes. Anything else, no.
yes horses do lie down if fact although it take more muscles for them to lay rather than to stand
All horses lie down. They can sleep standing up, or on their side. But only if another herd member is awake and on guard. If a horse is alone, it will not sleep. Horses are able to begin a light doze using a "stay apparatus" in their Carpus (knee) to allow them doze without collapsing.
i dont know, ask a doctor
lie down and dont stir
Yes, most horses sleep standing up but sometimes they do lie down.
A deceased horse will usually be found lying on its side, head down, legs outstretched.
Horses never lie. Humans do.
its not healthy for a horse to lie down.with the weight of their body resting on their legs, it can cut off curculation and cause some bad outcomes.
when horses colic, they will kick at their belly with their hind feet, and try to roll and lie down. do NOT let them roll or lie down!!!!!! if you think your horse is colicing, call an experienced emergency vet immediately!

"Lie down" is the correct phrase to use when talking about reclining or resting in a horizontal position. "Lay down" is incorrect in this context because it should be "lay" only when used with an object (e.g., lay down the book).
