Nice video! It's always good to raise awareness that horses need the right conditions to rest properly, if they are to be fit and happy!

So what do they do in the stalls at night? If they only sleep for a couple of hours

Note: Horses must get deep REM sleep otherwise they will become sleep deprived.

Horse never sleep laying down. I have never found a healthy horse sleeping on the ground. This is BS
