Yeah. Duolingo has taught me never to underestimate weird sentences much.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the language lesson from Top Secret. I guess the sentence is grammatically correct, but why would you ever say that horses drink milk?

You use gli when the first letter of the noun starts with a vowel. L'uomo = Gli uomini

"Gli" is used for a masculine plural noun that starts with a vowel, a "z", or an "s" followed by a consonant.

Lo squalo (the shark) -- gli squali (plural); lo stagno (the pond) -- gli stagni (plural). Note that in both cases the noun is masculine. If the noun is feminine the rule does not apply. Example: la scarpa (the shoe) -- le scarpe (plural).
When I was young we had a foal that would repeatedly go for the cow's udders. Odd horse.

Maybe from a long trough, while monkeys in the trees above are playing banjos. Let's get real.

I had a dream about this after reading your comment. In my dream the horses really got into the banjo music and danced as they drank. What a mess.

See the "Tips and Notes" of the chapters "Basics 1" and "Basics 2" (website).
I tend to forget the double letters in Italian, i typed in "cavali" instead of "cavalli", so i got it wrong :( Anyone else have this problem?
i get confused with what "the" to use. i know "la" is feminine and "il" is masculine, but i dont know about the others

I, you, we, they = drink.
He, she, it = drinks.
The horses = they = drink.

This taught me that you not only need to know the words the lesson topic is on, but also the words you've learned before, I almost wrote water instead of milk. Oops.
