Not ALL Horses sleep standing up



Isn't this the coziest scene ever?

Your horse instincts (and knowledge) were spectacular, as usual.
Horses are prey animals and if they're attacked by a predator, precious escape time could be lost by horses rocking up to all four hooves. The instinct remains in our domesticated horses!
Horses do rest on their sides for naps in the sunshine. What a relief for their legs!
During the night though, they doze on all fours, ready to run!

If you want to see more small horses click here and and visit a fun world called Illusion Miniatures.

Best,
Terri
