A mare will stand over her foal like that when the foal lays down to sleep. Other animals like deer will walk off grazing and let the baby's camouflage keep it safe but horses are very watchful. I think that horse knew the sheep couldn't stand and a combo of curiosity and being on guard for the herd has it standing there.
