Horse Down!!!
No, this is no unfortunate and sad scene. It is another "behavior" that we had a chance to observe several times - a foal taking a nap. The foals tire more quickly than the mature horses and when they tire, they just lay down. Maybe they'll snooze for 15 minutes, maybe and hour. When that happens, the herd just stops and waits. Occassionally, if the herd stallion is leading them to another destination he will get the foal up with a few nudges.
