Jake came on into our lives in late 2018. In 2019, he found his person. A teenager named Caroline. She found him challenging, but loved his personality. They clicked immediately.
After she went to college, she was so sweet to let him stick around and be leased in barn. Reagan learned so much from him. After that, I had the privilege of taking over his care. He gave lessons for a brief time before I decided to fully retire him. He didn’t argue and proceeded to enjoy the life of leisure.
He was brave, compliant, hardy, and kind little QH. Smart, cute mover, and had a ton of personality. It was no accident his show name was Smooth Criminal. He mellowed as he aged and became a favorite of all the other geldings and employees. He will be missed a bunch. We love you Jake. Rest easy sweet boy.
