enough of a horse expert to know that. Belle came with a note written in pencil that said that she was used as a broodmare but was "driven and ridden" and they were selling her because they were low on hay. She had the address to the farm she came from and wrote them to ask about her and the possible sire but they never wrote back.

Thanks for the info!
