A deal on Delia

Well, that didn't take long.....
Talking to Delia's former owner, and he arranged a good deal for me.
There is a lady who owns one of Delia's sons who is sentimentally attached to Delia, and will buy her for what I paid for her.
But wait, that's not all.....
Former owner, who is getting on in years and infirmity, is trying hard to rehome some of his horses. He is giving me Delia's 3/4 sister, nicknamed Snoopy. She is a solid bay, 10 years old and never broke or bred. With the money from Delia, I can, if I choose, send her to a trainer for 3 months. Or, I can do the ground work on her, and flip her. Or, I can just keep her as a brood mare if she tests 5 panel negative. Lots of options!
I will be getting her on the 27th or 28th. I have seen photos and a video of her, and she is really pretty. (as far as I could tell). Her feet have been neglected, but Shayla will work on them for me. I'll have my round pen set up in a couple of days, so it will be perfect to assess her and do some ground work to see what I am dealing with.
There is a bit of a story to her; she was sold as a 2 yr old for $4500, but the lady came with a tiny 2 horse trailer to haul her on a 10 hour trip, and Snoopy got a little worried when she felt the butt chain and ended going down and under it, so they unloaded her and the lady bought  different horse. It's going to be interesting to have an untouched, mature horse from impeccable bloodlines to play with. And I've always liked the bays. :0)
