BECKY CAPELOTO Gainseville Florida

[Stellaspeed]

Does anyone have any contact info for either Becky Capeloto or Melissa Montevideo ? They have a welsh pony mare of mine named Lianna LS Dawn that is a dead ringer for a little pony on the broker page of www.AC4H.com. I am VERY concerned !! Thank you!!

Whitepages doesn't turn anything up, but Melissa shows up on Facebook - apparently we have one friend in common. I live in Gainesville, so PM me if you need help. I'd never heard of these ladies before, but recognize the show grounds in some of her homebred ponies's pictures.

Thanks for the help offer !! I remember when I shipped her the pony two years ago that her husband ran a furniture store and that her partner Melissa owned a tack shop. The arrangement was that when the mare was confirmed in foal I was to receive my choice of roping saddles from any brand she carried at the store. Last year the word was she wasn't in foal, so OK. Now, after several attempts to reach her, NOTHING. After clicking on a link from Off Course forum on the latest AC4H.com horses, there is a CLONE of my pony !! I am petrified !!
This little mare was an impeccably bred imported Canadian Welsh pony, not a cast off. I want to know whether she is in Florida or if I need to scramble to save her from the kill pen . ANYTHING you could do would be appreciated !

This is Melissa. It is not Lianna you saw. We still have her and she is doing great. We decided not to breed her as she is so small and we are not breeding very many ponies. She is sitting around waiting on me to have children and babysitting the yearling and 2 year old ponies. If you want to PM me I can give you all of our contact info. Lianna has a forever home with us but should something ever happen we would of course contact you before finding her another home.

I saw Lianna last week, she is fat and happy. PM me and I will give you Becky's cell and home phone #. Becky won't let the pony go anywhere, I tried to get her to lease her to my neighbor for his little girl.

Mel, I am SO relieved to hear from you. Could you please post pics of Luna? Take a look at the little mare on the AC4H.com website...same star, snip and right rear fetlock. I was physically ill when I saw the picture. My contact info is stellaspeed@aol.com or you can call me directly at 804.779.0025 . I am glad she has a forever home . Nancy

Same markings, star, snip, and right rear fetlock....could be her twin, although Luna is probably lighter by now. See why I panicked ?

She has lightened up in the 2 yrs. she has been in Fl, I remember when Becky first got her, she was all dappled up and did look like the pic you posted. Here is a pic that Mel emailed to me with her cell phone of Lianna taken just before dark tonight. Mel cannot post the pics with her cell phone so she asked me to.
