How Do Horses Sleep Standing Up?

Horses are herd animals that are known for the speed and strength of their legs. They spend the majority of their time walking, running and engaging their legs in various ways. The construction of their front and hind legs has a significant adaptation called the stay apparatus. It enables them to stay on their feet with no muscular effort. As a result, horses are sometimes observed sleeping without having to lay down.
