Go Get Em!
Posts: 13503
     Location: OH. IO | Today many people have broken hearts because we all loved a great pony. He was my best boy.A cute and feisty appy that stole my heart.He was truly the only horse I ever trusted .my daughter barrel raced , ran poles, and teamed penned off of him, and im not lying when I say that when people saw our trailer pull in they would sign up jake in their team before we even unloaded:) Jake was a 900.00 dollar pony that took me down all of the trails of my life.I secretly put over $5,000 into trying to save his eye, but he ended up loosing it, and did just fine without it. About 7 years ago, my friend took Jake to her house to teach MANY young little girls how to ride, race, and trust.he taught and took many girls to State:) Today, Jake left this world and took a piece of several hearts with him.Im NOT ASKING FOR PRAYERS.......JAKE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS THE DAY HE BECAME MINE.I JUST WANT TO PAY TRIBUTE TO MY ONE AND ONLY. GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN JAKE.ALL YOUR WORK ON EARTH IS DONE.

Yes,well done Jake.And then he walked through the gates.........and knocked all the water buckets over:) I called him my holiday overtime pony.anytime we needed a vet for him it was because he was either bugging the small pony doc,and would get kicked,or simply just being Jake.His vet calls were always on a sunday and a holiday,such as Easter.lol.I dont think he ever recieved a weekday vet visit.His personality sure did shine |
