Sleep is essential for a horse’s health, just as it is for people. Horses, however, have peculiar sleeping patterns and characteristics. Because they are polyphasic sleepers, horses sleep in several phases throughout the day, with the majority of these times occurring at night. The horse’s sleeping habits are influenced by its surroundings, social structure, age, diet, and level of familiarity. Horses have the rare ability to doze off while still upright.
