We leased our grey TB Gelding horse, Indigo, to a woman in Ashville, NC (contact owner for name). We instructed lessee to send Indigo back from Asheville, North Carolina to our farms in Lexington, KY. We had offered to sell him to her but she declined the offer and said she would rather return him. On April 3rd, 2013 our daughter began a series of e-mails with lessee making arrangements to get our horse back. Lessee then asked if she could buy him on a payment plan and our daughter told her no that she needed him here, and again asked lessee to get Indigo's Coggins and Health Certificates ready and to send Indigo back to KY immediately. The date to bring him kept getting extended. Finally, daughter went to NC to pick up Indigo, but Lessee said he was in South Carolina. In fact, the lease agreement stipulated that Indigo could not be assigned in any manner (nor the lease). Lessee said she sent Indie to a friend who needed him for a horse show and my daughter said he was supposed to come back to us. Lessee agreed to return him within five days, but has not done so and now will not communicate with us. [content summarized by NetPosse 7/14/13]
