I do know who owns him and whereabouts they live...but unfortunately it just isn't good contact between us... They have moved, so the phone number has changed and they are unlisted...and I think their email has changed as well. I have a video of his last 3 races, the very last one being Mr.Vancouver - which he won. I also have a video of some of his training when he came off the track...showing him jumping, except they are on a video tape and unfortunately I do not have the equipment to be able to tranfer them to here. I do have an old photo of him jumping though... I'll add it. (I'm NOT the rider in these photo's)   |

I have good news!!!
He is no longer with the owners I thought he was with,
he has found a new home (quite close to me too)
with a loving family (a mom and two kids)
He's had work done with his manners, and supposively he is
doing really well now!
I am happy to say that the family has agreed to let me have a reunion with him
sometime soon.

Mainly just out of luck...a girl I know who does pet & farm sitting for people
had just recently tooken care of a girl's farm and saw a post I had on Ricky on another forum...
so she ended up talking to the girl for more info on him and realized he was the same horse I had.

Re: Falcon Rich
We have owned Ricky for 3 years now. He has been a wonderful addition to our horse family. He loves to roll, and get dirty. He is a pleasure to ride especially on trails. At the moment he lives with two other horses. We take him to Gymkhanas, and just have fun. It was a surprise to stumble upon this information about him. We just love him.
From: Linda, Sarah, and David.

Hi there,
So I forgot to update this page on the status of Falcon Rich. He passed away at the age of 30 two summers ago. He was an amazing horse and we will miss him dearly.
Just thought that you guys who had a part in his life should know.
Thank you for all the wonderful photos of Ricky.
Rest In Peace you Gentle Giant.
