  • All Animals Are Dogs A horse's tongue is too thick to scoop up water like the thinner tongues of dogs and cats; they normally drink by simply dipping their muzzles into the water, unless the water source is so shallow that licking is the only way to get it into their mouths.

  • Western Animation / Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron Unlike dogs, horses have thick tongues which are not as capable of scooping up water; while they may sometimes be seen licking at water (for instance, shallow water in the bottom of a bucket), horses most often dip their muzzles partly into the water to drink.
