ARK Firecon was a Russian Egyptian Arabian who moved to Jake's Flat Farm in 1989 at 15months old. Firecon died unexpectedly February 1, 2012 and leaves a huge hole in our hearts. As one of our first horses, Firecon leaves us with many fond memories.
Firecon loved new things, Carrots and running up hills. Over the years, Firecon's Job has changed. As a young horse, he was Liz's personal saddle horse and truly enjoyed trail rides and loafing around at the farm.
When Liz began to develop her skills as a therapist, Firecon was her first therapy horse and schooling pony. Liz learned a lot from Firecon and he quickly became and remained a trusted leader on the farm. Later he was a favorite during summer camp and had begun to learn to jump. He had a keen sense of fairness and was quick to enjoy a joke especially if it was on someone else. His nose was always the first over his door to greet people in the barn. He leaves big shoes to fill and we miss his nickers and bright spirit.
