The four-legged creature, Jake, is a member of the Merseyside Police Mounted Section force. This amusing habit of the horse came to light after the department took to Twitter to share a video of Jake.

“Jake refuses to get out of bed until he is brought a warm cup of tea,” the department wrote while sharing the video of the tea-drinking horse. Further, they wrote that once Jake finishes his tea, he gets ready for the day.

“Haha! That made me smile I used to take my horse home and she would stand at the back door waiting for her cup of tea,” wrote a Twitter user while sharing their experience. “Well haven’t witnessed anything like this before! This is so sweet, all he needed was his cup of Charlie. Jake you are a beautiful boy,” excitedly wrote another. “He needs a bigger mug,” commented another.

Here’s what others wrote:

Merseyside Police Mounted Section stable manager and trainer Lindsey Gaven describes Jake as a horse with a lot of character, reports Mirror.

“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!” added Gaven.
