Anyone know where Capone is?

[Foxdale Farm]

I have a friend who needs to locate Capone's owners for a signature on registration papers. I know he is (or perhaps was) a GP jumper and is an approved Holsteiner stallion.

Does anyone know how to find him?

[SandyUHC]

Popcorn, getcher popcorn right here!

Couldn't resist. Seriously Foxdale Farm, do a search, this topic got quite a bit of discussion last week.

[caffeinated]

Capone is in hiding, somewhere along the Afghanistan/Pakistan border.


(seriously, there appears to be some dispute about ownership, from the bits I've heard, so it may be a while before you get that signature)

[FairWeather]

I heard he was seen on the back of a Moroccan grape picker last? Was that not him??

[Mozart]

I would contact any registries he is registered with (not necesarily approved by) and see what is listed on his papers re: any change of ownership. And see if the currently listed owner can be located for the signature. It is not so much about where the horse is but where the owner is. While there may be dispute about ownership currently, I would think your friend's registry would have to to accept the signature of whoever is currently listed.

Whoever owns the horse (or purports to own the horse) would want to be helpful, I would think, so that people aren't scared away from using this lovely horse because of, shall we say, difficulties with respect to the ownership.

I thought Osama was riding him around the mountains of Afghanistan??

[Foxdale Farm]

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. The filly is 2 years old and is 1/2 Arabian. I'll try to get a hold of Corrine to see if I can get anywhere with it. It's not such a big deal to me personally, just trying to help out a friend.

Who owns the domain stallions.net?

[Hocus Focus]

I have seen the horse jumping in Ocala last year. He is really a nice animal. Don't know the owners but hear plenty of crap in their regard. Mostly on here.

What I find amazing about the very nature of these forums is trashing a person seems almost fun for some and often encouraged by threads that go on for days, yet if you rethink the process is this not another form of black advertising , and for even having mentioned the word ADVERTISING our very existence here is punishable by banishment and branded for life, and the most highly respected and well liked owners of some of the very best stallions who we may today worship and adore spend hard earned dollars to receive a modest breeding book per year for paying top dollars to place ads in cluttered poorly constructed publications which may one year print nicely and the following be one step above toilet paper, so I ask you all where is the justice?

The sour notes of truth....

[moonriverfarm]

Hmmmm...the justice was served if I remember well. And maybe that's why Capone is MIA.

Could someone please PM Hocus Focus the link that shows what Mr. Spink does to his horses and his dogs. After what I saw I wanted to claw my eyes out. Didn't feel right for 3 weeks.

I hope Mr. Spink never gets Capone back and I hope Kyle King would get ownership.

[Hocus Focus]

Like I said, I do not know the owners. I just know of the horse and I am not sure dirty laundry should have its place here, but I guess in today's society that is called "NEWS".

[ponygirl]

Reg- the stallion manager is not being trashed at all. I've only heard positive comments regarding her and the management of the stallion The stallion owner is a whole nother ball of wax. Before you chastise, you probably need to go research the owner. I think you'll understand why the owner is not spoken well of on this forum.

[Hocus Focus]

This may well be the case and you may well be correct. I do not have all of the information to form judgement, nor do I consider it my place to do so.

[caffeinated]

Maybe it's not our place...

But I have this dream of doing business with ethical people. If I'm buying, breeding, selling, whatever- I like to know my money is going to someone who does the right things, who doesn't partake in potentially abusive behavior, etc.

It's along the same lines as not wanting to take lessons with Paul Valliere. For the same reason, I would not want to put money in the owner's pocket- in a way it's rewarding him and condoning (on some level) the twisted things he's done (in addition to the criminal things he's done). Maybe I'm naive, I don't know.

I really hope that all of this is ironed out to the horse's benefit- he's really an amazing stallion with a lot to offer.

As for the specific "rumors"- if you don't want something to be public/common knowledge, you don't put it on the internet.

[HeyYouNags]

And especially don't put it on the internet with graphic pictures.

There is a line between taking the high road and staying out of the business of others, and hiding your head in the sand. If you knew someone was, for example, a child molester, or an animal abuser, or into beastiality, or other criminal activity, and your attitude is "That's none of my business!", then you're probably on the wrong side of that not-so-fine line.

It's really not in the same universe as being banned from a BB. :rolleyes:

Holy run-on sentence, Batman! Can someone please diagram it for me, because I am really, truly having trouble figuring out what this poster is trying to say!

But if it's something along the lines that only good things about people should be posted on BBs then, sorry, can't agree. There's no alleging what this person did; he was found guilty in a court of law in one instance, and in the other he's posted the pictures.

What is "It?" If you deny there's anything to the talk but rumors, then what are you refusing to look at? :confused:

Sounds like your panties are in a bunch about CoTH's advertising rules, and you're using this thread to spout off about it. Why complain about "cluttered poorly constructed publications which may one year print nicely and the following be one step above toilet paper" when you utilize the CoTH BB?

My underwear is none of your affair thank you, and regarding this other note, I sent it directly to Erin when I posted it and so far I am still here. While perhaps not entirely kind, I think there is some truth to it, and that does not necessarily have to reflect badly on the magazine. It is the nature of the business. Having worked a decade in the magazine world, I have some idea of the dramas an art director faces. It is extremely difficult to maintain control in all phases with the pressure of deadlines and layouts submitted with inconsistency in layout style which is exactly what happens when ads are submitted laid out. These are only a few factors that contribute to the resulting publication. I think every magazine on earth has faced these issues at one time or another. Printers vary, ink levels are not always consistent as well. For the most part, I am sure everyone does the best they can, and like life itself some days are better than others.


Regarding this other gentleman and his list of deeds, I have no interest in the details. I sort of doubt his story warrants the best seller list.

Reg, I'm not sure where you are coming from in this thread. The owner was convicted of drug trafficking in cocaine - it isn't gossip. According to the arrest record, he was apprehended red handed with a LARGE shipment and went to jail.

[Fairview Horse Center]

The owner was convicted of drug trafficking in cocaine - it isn't gossip. According to the arrest record, he was apprehended red handed with a LARGE shipment and went to jail.

If I remember correctly, it was the largest cocaine bust in history. Wonder who he turned on to get out so fast. Seems to me if he was smarter, he would be living the quiet life.

[YankeeLawyer]

YL, the owner doing time, is OUT!! HORRORS!!

That is *quite* something.

Actually, it was reputed to be Snohomish County's
largest cocaine bust, not the largest one ever. But he was charged with possessing 372 pounds of
cocaine with an estimated street value of $34 million. I believe the conviction was for possession of in excess of 5 kilos (I believe the highest felony range).

[holsteinersrock]

Hey, Greg, all you need to do is google Capone's owner, and this comes up: http://alex.golub.name/log/index.php?cat=27

A nice guy that you'd like to hang out with for a few beers, eh???

Anna

[Xhltsalute]

He was convicted of possession. It was the largest cocaine bust in Snohomish County and he was sentenced to 3 years in prison. Looks like he's been out for a while. To bad for his 4 legged sex partners (where's the puking emoticon?).

[Fairview Horse Center]

How do you possess that much without the intent to distribute?

[MistyBlue]

LOL, good point Fairview. I can't see over 300 lbs of nose candy as a private stash. Not even for Keith Richards. :winkgrin:

Wherever Capone may be...let's hope someone has purchased him an equine sized chastity belt. Poor darned horse... having been stuck with a sub-intelligent sub-species "owner" who assumed just because animals can't verbally say, "Dude, you're sick, sod off!" that they're also "feeling the mutual love." :no:

[YankeeLawyer]

How do you possess that much without the intent to distribute?

It is easier to prove possession than intent to distribute, butas I recall once you possess over a certain amount the law does presume that you have an intent to distribute (I think the amount is in excess of 5 kilos, but it has been a while since I dealt with cases like this).

[YankeeLawyer]

[dbay55@yahoo.com]

"Like I said, I do not know the owners. I just know of the horse and I am not sure dirty laundry should have its place here, but I guess in today's society that is called "NEWS"."

Hocus, people should know what they are getting into. Capone's ownership, that I was last informed of by a registry where he was activated, is an offshore corporation. Now why would anyone breed to a stallion whose ownership is intentionally designed to subvert liability and avoid ongoing fraud, bankruptcy and criminal proceedings related to it's owner? Wouldn't you be concerned about getting cheated?

Do an internet search and you will find all you ever need to know about Doug Spink. Personally I would never breed to any stallion associated with this person until there was concrete proof of said stallion having new ownership (not fake ownership).

[Hocus Focus]

I repeat. I have had the pleasure of seeing him go. He is an outstanding Grand Prix horse with the power and scope and technique that is uncommon even in top jumping horses and I am quite sure this stallion is one of Canada's very best on the circuit currently.

As I have never considered breeding to him, I have no reason to know or have any dealings with the rest of this.

What I enjoy is quite harmless really. I love watching him perform. Hopefully I will continue to see him doing that. Unfortunately knowing all the garbage related somehow taints that appreciation and it is a darn shame for such a grand horse. Greatness is rare and special.

That is well said. None of the garbage surrounding his owner has anything to do with whether the horse is talented.

[dbay55@yahoo.com]

Hocus,

Your position/post has evolved. Nobody had issue with the horse, but you claimed that sharing information on the ownership of this horse is 1) trashing a person for fun, 2) airing dirty laundry as news. Neither is the case. The disturbing facts are much more than dirty laundry, and there is no trashing of this person, only awareness made of the factual background. This is a breeding forum, and most breeders would be happy to now the long history before purchasing a breeding. It's awful hard to get a refund (or a signature) from Belize after all. Many breeders might conclude that doing business with this person could taint their reputation or cost them money or both.

[clint]

I go to Spruce Meadows every year, usually a couple of times, and I have had the pleasure of seeing Capone I go on numerous occasions, including the first time he was asked to jump a massive course in the International Ring, when Doug still was in charge, and this year's Master's tournament. His unfortunate ownership takes nothing away from how magnificent this horse is; it is just so unfortunate. I would like nothing more for him than to remain under Kyle King as a rider, and whoever is currently managing is stud career, as that seems to be going well too.

[Oakstable]

If there are investor partners in this horse, you'd think they would insist on leaving him with a winning combination. Or sell him to a competition home.

And if you read the whole thread you will see it was apparent that Hocus was not previously aware of the owner's sordid history. No need to jump on Hocus.

[RheinlandPfalzSaar]

Oh wow, poor Capone - I hope that he doesn't have anything to do with his owner again. Just based off what I have seen on this thread and the link to the blog he sounds inhuman especially if that thing with the dog was true - grostesque.

So is Capone actually mia / hiding? Am I misreading this thread? I just hope that he ends up in good safe hands that can help him further his career and give him a good, long life.

[DownYonder]

Doug is enough of an egomaniac that if he has Capone back, we will know it soon enough. He won't be able to resist showing off the stallion in the jumper ring - unless of course he is satisfied (no pun intended) having the horse star in porn films. :no:

[Leah A]

Well, the most disappointing thing, for me, is that this horse is finally doing well and really going somewhere with Kyle King. To have him return to, well, you know who, can only essentially eliminate his rise to the top. It is a shame to waste such a great talent in a horse. I understand that it is the owner's right to ride his own horse I just feel it is not in the horse's best interest nor in that of his career both as a sport and breeding horse. As a breeder, the reputation of the owner (DS) as well as the poor showings the horse had in the ring under that owner (actually the horse did surprisingly well "despite" the owner's ride) has also resulted in my not using him in our program (unfortunate in light of the fact that we have a super, imported Premium mare that would suit very well)...

I just wish Capone could stay with Kyle King as he's done such a great job with the horse.

I was down in Chilliwack last week, staying with a friend who lives a minute away from where he is stabled, and was told that Capone is in Chilliwack. Also, Capone has been given a 'different' name, and moves around alot. Don't really know if any of it is true. That's just what I heard.

[Exitpoint]

As always, a most entertaining read!

It's well worth a visit every few months to see all the new "facts" that have sprouted lately. I like the one about the porn videos - that's a good one. Can someone please PM me the link to that, I'd just love to see it. Unless someone has been smuggling a hidden camera into my barn, there isn't even a video of Capone being collected (does that count as porn?).

There's quite a bit more going on out here in the real world - a quick glance back at the long line of flat-out wrong "facts" in this thread and others provides a good indicator of how well informed the more vociferous (and confident) posters here have proven thus far on this matter. Anyone who wanted to could simply ask me, and I'd fill in the details. That doesn't seem a popular approach - perhaps it's more fun to speculate and generate drama, I dunno.

Of course, anyone who really does need a breeding cert executed can contact me and it shall be done. Anyone who paid Corinne for a breeding for this year can either try to get their money back from her (good luck with that), or we've agreed to honor those breedings at no cost.

It would be good to let us know sooner rather than later as we won't be collecting for several chunks of time during the spring and early summer while on the road. Also, we do have new procedures for shipments, which are now accurately reflected on our website (http://www.stallions.net). So far they are working well with our clients, though there's a few minor changes needed in the process that have already become obvious as shipments go out. Updates to be made shortly.

Capone is doing well and has recovered beautifully from last year's show season - it's safe to say that he won't be doing that kind of a sustained grind on the circuit in the future. Cantour has regained the weight he was so clearly lacking, and is jumping around nicely again - took a bit to help him past the phobias he developed but he's back to himself at this point. Both have enjoyed the time on the trails over the winter, though only Cantour really likes the technical schooling to be honest about it.

The rest of the boys are in excellent health as well - it's been a pretty good winter for everyone. I wish I'd have had more time to fine-tune the interview that was published last month, but it didn't come out too bad and from what I know has been a popular read - I still can't find a copy of the magazine itself.

Anyway, I've used up my alloted 20 minutes to catch up on the COTH gossip for this month.
