Many of us consider virtually it is impossible to wake up right before we got the first cup of coffee.
How to have the horse, Jake the also. Almost. For Jake is from England, so for him it applies, of course, tea.
The riding police in Liverpool, Merseyside Police Mounted Section, has shared a video on Twitter of the 20-year-old stallion, who has a morgenrutine, which is very typically british. But perhaps less typical of a horse.

'When he has been drinking up, he's ready for his day', writes police on Twitter.
We have a new episode of #wintermorningwakeups featuring Jake. Jake refuses to get out of bed until he is brought a warm cup of @tetleyuk tea. Once he has drank this he is ready for the day. #StandTall #PHJake #NotStandingAtAll #BrewInBed #TeaTaster pic.twitter.com/iJXm32hlad

Several media outlets, including the Daily Mail, has written about the horse, Jake, who according to the riding police has had the same habit in 15 years. Every morning he gets served a cup of tea with semi-skimmed milk and two pieces of sugar. In addition, it will just be a splash of cold water, so that it is not too hot for him to drink.

- Jake is one of the twelve horses that live in stables and work together with us. I would definitely describe Jake like a horse with a lot of character. We all know how he prefers his tea. He may well accept one piece of sugar, but he is certainly happier, if you give him two, says the police horse trainer, Lindsey Gift.
- If he is in the one end of the barn, and he sees you with a cup in your hand, so you can guarantee that he wades over to try to get a sip, " continues the coach.
