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.
Horses are capable of lying down to rest or take naps, typically for short periods of time. They can lie down on their sides with their legs tucked underneath them, as well as on their bellies with their legs stretched out. Horses can also engage in a behavior called "sunbathing," where they lie flat on their sides with their legs outstretched to relax and soak up the sun.
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.

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.
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!

The present tense spelling for "lie down" is "lie down."
No, horses do lie down to rest and sleep. They typically sleep for short periods while standing up due to their unique anatomy, which allows them to lock their legs in place for support. However, they do need to lie down for deep REM sleep, which they usually do for brief periods at a time throughout the day.
