Jake

Jake is quite the horse! He came to Easy R in November 2024 when a small long-standing rescue close in the Texas Panhandle. He was one of the last two horses left at the rescue.  His is a young Gypsy Vanner cross. He's a large stout guy!  Jake is friendly, curious, and is called an "overgrown toddler" by his foster mom. He is always into something.  His personality is as large as he is. The heartbreaking part of his story is that, even though he was trained under saddle several years ago, he has already developed Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis (DSLD). At this point it's just in his back legs and is not causing him any lameness. But riding him would be unsafe for both him and a rider. We are saddened by this because he has so much potential. Of course, he is totally ok with just being an incredibly handsome yard ornament who loves his food and playing (a little hard sometimes) with his horse friends. His future adoptive parents will have to establish firm but fair boundaries with him so he doesn't use his size and enthusiasm to push limits. He is ready to provide lots of laughs and eye rolls to his future family!
