This style of sleeping is good!
Have you ever
Yeah...Horses have a unique system of interlocking ligaments and bones in their legs,which covers as a sling to suspend their body weight without strain while their muscles are completely relaxed.
This way,horses don't have to exert any energy consciously to remain standing but their legs are locked in the proper position while sleeping.Most horses do most of their sleeping while standing,but patterns differ. If they are sleeping at standing position continuously for as long as a month or more, it was not unusual; lying in on position for a long time also can cause muscle cramps.
