I offered two horses for lease, a representative of a place called Horseplay of Gastonia contacted me about leasing the two horses.   I checked the internet and did not see complaints listed for them and they reported themselves to be a camp for children and in need of horses to use for camp and for therapy for kids. I agreed to let them lease the horses to be used as camp horses for children, Jim Browning and Laura came and picked up my horses.  I traveled to their place frequently to check on the care and up keep of the horses, when it was time to return the horses Jim Browning kept asking for extensions of time and then he would put me off by saying he couldn't bring them right then, and then he would give me another day he was bringing them. when I finally put pressure on him that he had to return them and there was no more extension. he then told me that the horses belonged to him and he refused to return them.  He was very mean and intimidating to me.  Upon listing the horses as stolen with Netposse.com I was able to locate my two horses, he had sold both of them and one he had sold so quick after leasing her that I realize that was his intentions all along was to sale them. He sold them to people that boarded at his barn which is why I didn't catch on that he was scamming me until he refused to return them.  Laura was the one collecting the board checks on the horses and writing the bill of sales on horses that were not for sale so she is deeply involved.  I had many victims calling and contacting me once I listed my two horses on the stolen horse site so I realized I wasn't the only one that had been taken by the Brownings.  I don't want there to be any more victims that get taken advantage of like I was.
