nice to see a horse in a pub, but why the long face?

Probably because the horse remembers what the beer USED to taste like when he was in harness with the dray and got his sips while on the rounds

Ah those were the days. But of course not all horses exclusively drink beer>>>>>:

A white horse walks into a pub. The landlord says 'Hello sir! A pint of best bitter?'

The horse shakes its head. 'No - I've had a rotten day. All sorts of problems on the farm. I could really do with a scotch'

The landord say 'Very well sir. We've got some excellent single malts. Lagavulin and Laphroaig for example'

'A bit too peaty for my liking' says the horse ' I've never been an afficionado of whiskies from Islay'

'Well how about some Talisker from the Isle of Skye?' asks the landlord.

'Sorry no. It's remarkably dull considering it comes from such a picturesque part of the world.' replies the horse.

'Well I've all these Speyside malts' said the landlord. 'How about one of them?'

'To be honest' replied the horse 'I really don't think that single malt whiskies justify their exorbitant price'

The landlord is somewhat taken aback, never having heard a horse use the word 'exorbitant'.

'Very well sir, let's go for a blended whisky' he says

'Ok' replies the horse 'what have you got?'

'Well' replies the landlord, running his eye along the optics ' we've Famous Grouse, Teachers, Bells, Johnnie Walker, and guess what! We've even got one named after you!!'

'What?? Dobbin??!!'

If it was a thoroughbred, shouldn't it be drinking Pedigree? The old nags used to drink Websters.

Not round here they didn't. The drayhorse at the King William used to drink Brakspears Special, or bitter as a second best.

The pub I remember (across the road from the Chemical Museum in Widnes I Can't remember the name) used to have a dog that the regulars had trained by putting treats in there trouser pockets. It didn't half give you a shock the first time you were at the bar & suddenly a dog ran up & stuck its nose deep into both your trouser pockets.

Reminds me of the old joke about the artist comissioned by Greenalls to paint a new company logo to match there beers. The painting was a young couple making love on the banks of a lake. When the firm asked the meaning the artist said that people he asked said Greenalls was "F***ing close to water"
