Jake is a 20-year-old horse who has discovered a deep love for sugary tea. Members of the Mounted Section discovered the horse’s weakness for the hot beverage after the animal stuck its tongue into his rider’s cup every morning. Jack is now included in the tea round each morning.
Merseyside Police Mounted Section manager and trainer Lindsey Gaven explained that “Jack is a horse with a lot of character. We’ve all learnt his tea order - he’ll deal with one sugar, but is definitely happier when you remember to give him two.
“If you’re at the side of the stable and he sees you with a mug in your hand, you can guarantee he’ll trot on over to try and steal a slurp.”
Jack is due to retire next year. We wish him all the best (tea in the world).
