Great question!
with such a high neck the forces of gravity seem to work against the poor animal!
Fortunately the muscles of the esophagus are very strong-
The esophagus is a long muscular tube connecting your mouth and your stomach.
There are muscles at the top and bottom of the esophagus that control things coming and going, much like control valves-this is called peristalsis. These muscles are called the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. when we eat food-the stomach functions as a reservoir for holding the food-which it does with 2 very large muscles.
When a person or animal throws up, the lower-esophageal sphincter opens so that as the stomach squeezes, there is nothing to keep the food in the stomach and so it comes back up the esophagus.
