I know of several TB mares that do this, one of them mine. While doing
a BabyWatch last spring, you could watch her dozing off, her knees
starting to buckle, than she'd catch herself just as her nose hit the
the ground. The other mare I know goes all the way down with a crash
and just stays there---better one bump than twenty, I guess.
