Best Answer

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.

"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).
