This shows the complete sleep cycle of a wild horse on the prairie.

Key Sleep Positions for Horses

Start to 1:25
Standing/Stance Sleep: Using their "stay apparatus," a system of ligaments and tendons, horses lock their leg joints to sleep lightly while upright.

1:25
Sternal Recumbency (Kneeling/Cow Pose): A resting position that offers more relaxation than standing but keeps the horse ready to rise quickly.

33:25
Lateral Recumbency: Lying flat on their side, necessary for REM sleep.

38:18
Sternal Recumbency (Kneeling/Cow Pose): A resting position that offers more relaxation than standing but keeps the horse ready to rise quickly.

40:15
Up to eat and drink.

Horses can sleep while standing up thanks to a unique anatomical mechanism called the "stay apparatus," which consists of tendons and ligaments that lock their leg joints in place. This allows them to doze or enter light sleep (non-REM sleep) without falling, a survival mechanism that keeps them ready to flee from predators.
