Subj: RE: Netposse.com Missing Melody in NC: Ad on Craigslist response

So, Melody is home thanks to the effort of Debi (Metcalfe/NetPosse) and April Lowery. April called within hours of the (NETPOSSE) flyer going out and knew that the barn owner had her up for sale. She also knew the girl that bought Melody from the barn owner. She called the girl and asked if she still had the horse, of course she told her no, and that she had been sold to a lady in Wilmington, and didn't have the woman's information. April, then went onto Criag's list and put in an Ad saying she was looking for Melody to buy. Three days later she got a call from a woman here in Fayetteville who had Melody. April and I went this morning to verify that it was indeed Melody and it was!!! I went home called the sheriff's dept. and got them to meet me out there, I drove home with her within 30 minutes. She is now at home with her daughter and happy along with me and my children. Thank you so much to all of you who helped and sent their prayers to us. Without all of you we wouldn't have had her again. I can't thank you enough.

Survey question: Does a NC boarding facility owner have to get an agisters lien before selling a horse for lack of board payment? What if there is only a verbal instead of a written contract? Please send your answer to us here.

how missing: I verbally leased Melody to a man I had known for 6 years. He had her stabled at a stable in Hope Mills NC. Evidently he stopped paying board for her in Jan. I was unaware of this and the barn owner never called me to tell me. (Dena boarded with him and thought he would let know) Nor did the man who was leasing her. The barn owner told me that he called the man who leased Melody up until the middle of March with no results. So in May a woman got the horse from the man for $100.00, then moved her to a little barn near the Raeford airport. I called the woman and she said that she couldn't afford to keep the horse and gave her away to a good family in Wilmington and that I should be glad she didn't go to the auction which is where she was headed. She wouldn't give me any information on the people she gave Melody to, no phone number, name, address, anything.
