Vela's Jake, beautiful TWH

I'm so sorry, Vela.

Rest in Peace Jake :( Run free at the bridge sweetheart.:(

Vela, I'm so sorry to hear that your handsome Jake has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.:(
He was such a handsome black steed and I loved seeing pictures of him and Gent.
Colic is a terrible thing to lose a horse to.
Sending hugs your way.

I'm at a loss for words. I'm so very sorry, Vela.

Rest In Peace, Sweet Jake.

You must be absolutely heart broken:( It's all I can do to keep from crying reading this.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
(((HUGS)))

I know it is extremely hard for Vela to come here right now, she's sick and heartbroken beyond the ability to express with words. Jake was her rock, her hero. He even saved her life once when, while out riding, they hit an icy ledge, but Jake didn't panic and kept his head and instead of panic and flailing around he was slow and calm and did exactly the right thing to get them both safely down.

I hope she won't mind if I share a few words she expressed to me this morning about Jake.

"The condolences help, but I'm still so torn up. I just miss him so much, and I know when I get there he wont be looking at me over the gate like he always did. He always saw me drive up and always was waiting with pricked ears for me to come get him. I'm just not really sure what to do without him, I love Gent dearly, he's my baby, but Jake was special. He was the horse of a lifetime, and I'll never find another one like him. We did everything, he and I. That horse did it all. We did things, and people would look at me and say "He did WHAT?" Yes, my horse chased buffalo, he scaled mountains, he was the headless horseman's horse, he took me anywhere and saved my butt more than once."

Please keep my friend in your thoughts. And thank you so much for your condolences and caring.

Edited to add a few photos of Jake as the headless horseman's horse on Halloween:

Oh, I am so very sorry to see this. :( He sure was a very special, handsome guy.
((((((HUGS)))))) and prayers headed out to everyone. I'll keep you all in my thoughts.

Rest Easy, Jake.

HUGS and prayers today for Vela

Many more prayers headed Velas way. :(

Oh No! NO NO NO! Oh Vela, I'm so sorry that I am just now seeing this. Not Jake. :( :( :(

My heart grieves for you and the family. Such a beautiful boy. So not fair. :( :(

RIP Jake.

How sad that Jake was taken away so suddenly :(

A horse at the stables I ride at has recently passed away too, and that saddened me greatly, so I can't comprehend what it's like to lose a horse of your own.

((hugs)) Vela.

I am so sorry.:( Rest In Peace beautiful Jake.

Thank you guys. Jess made a really nice video and we will share it when we get it uploaded somewhere.

Here is Jake's Memorial Video that Jessica made for him, and for me. I hope you enjoy it. As painful as it is to see, it reminds me just how special he was, and still is.
