Horse owner reported to GSPCA

 



It's rare to see horses lying down, I can understand the tourists' concern.

It takes a bit of work for horses to get up, which makes them vulnerable to attacks by predators. To protect themselves, horses instead doze while standing. They're able to do this through the stay apparatus, a special system of tendons and ligaments that enables a horse to lock the major joints in its legs.
