Can you check post type for post object field?

For a post object field is it possible to check the post type of the field value?

Eg:

post_object_field – restricted to two post types A and B

We want to output a link to the post if it’s post type A but output only the name if it’s post type B.

I’ve tried using is_singular(‘horses’) but that’s not working so guessing that’s not how we’d need to check the post type?

This is the full code:

<?php

$dam = get_field('dam');

if( $dam ):

	$post = $dam;
	setup_postdata( $post );
	?>

	<?php if ( is_singular('horses') ) :?>
		<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>	
	<?php else:?>
		<?php the_title(); ?>
	<?php endif;?>

	<?php wp_reset_postdata();?>

<?php endif; ?>

Nevermind, figured it!

For anyone else with the same question we needed to use: get_post_type( get_the_ID() ) and set it as a variable.

Eg:

<?php 		
$post_type = get_post_type( get_the_ID() );
if ( $post_type == 'horses'):?>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php else:?>
	<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php endif;?>
