		tanddjohnson	Poor thing, I bet he was exhausted by the time he got on his four legs. Hope he stays up this time.
		tomswift46	I've heard that their intestines can get twisted if they don't stand up for awhile...
		celticvoice	Actually, no, excessive rolling can twist them, which is the biggest danger when a horse gets HORSE colic (they roll to try to ease the gas pains). . . what would happen if he laid flat out too long is his lungs would not expand fully and he would either get pnuemonia and/or suffocate. They MUST be able to "sit on their chests". Horses rarely lay flat except for brief (usually 15 minutes max) periods, except for babies who don't have the weight problem . . .
