His owner Jerry Gilbert of Smokey Hollow Farm (Ostego, Michigan, USA) says that Big Jake was, "He was extremely hard to hold on to when he was young and when I would turn him outside sometimes he would take me with him!" but now he is older "He has a great temperament and and works hard when he is harnessed to a wagon."
