Aside from a deeper sleep, horses will lay down for a lot of reasons. The important part to note is horses are prey animals, so they have evolved to do a lot while upright. Laying down is actually a big sign of feeling safe, and something they may do in fields with other horses they get along with, in a stall if the bedding feels good to them and there is enough room, etc.

The problems are when they are unwilling or unable to get up, that can be a sign of anything from an injury to sickness or a neurological issue.
