If the horse is sedated, the vet will help you lay him down, as this can be dangerous. A sedated horse will not stay on his feet, although a tranquilized horse might. A firm grip on the lead rope is necessary to pull the horse's neck straight out, then ease the horse onto his haunches and then his side. If you're laying a horse down to train him, you will also need a surcingle and another lead rope. Run a lead rope thru a surcingle loop so the horse's neck is turned away from you, while using the second lead rope to pick up the front foot nearest you. This can be very dangerous, and should only done by a trained professional. If you want to train your horse to lay down on command, this takes time and patience, but most horses can learn it eventually. Try the website below.

What does it mean when a horse rolls as your riding it?
Well it means you've lost control of the horse and let it lay down on the job and it has decided to roll.

Whenever you let your horse stop, if you feel it pawing at the ground make it move forward immediately, to discourage the horse from trying to lay down. Retraining a horse to not do this can take a lot of time.

Why can cows lay down and horses cannot?
A horse can lay down just like a cow can. Just like with cows, horses will lay down either recumbant on their fronts or layed out on their sides when they are relaxed and they feel secure. When someone sees a horse laying down in the middle of a pasture as they drive by, this should never be a means to suddenly come to the conclusion that that horse is dead. A horse can only get a real deep REM sleep when it is laying down, never when it is standing. Horses will doze or sleep lightly whilst standing, locking their knee joints and resting on three legs as they do so. Because horses are prey animals and their instinct is to flight first before investigating when startled, if they do not feel safe in an area they will not lay down to rest. A cow is no different since she too, is a prey animal just like the horse. Just like the horse, even though cows are more calmer and less "hot-headed" than most horses may be, they too will choose to stand to doze in one spot rather than lay down if they do not feel secure enough.
