Horses Laying Down

I have not had a horse in several years but it seems to me that only young foals tend to lay down. I believe I have been told that horses have a hard time breathing when they lay down and that this could be a sign that the horse is in distress. I could be totally off base here. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
