Looking at 2 year olds

3 2-year-olds. I was partial to the red dun, but can't buy a horse on color alone, so I looked at all three.
Filly #1: Wrigley. Red Dun. Mellow. She struck me as being very green, but a nice and practical filly. Inquisitive, friendly, checks things out with her mouth, but isn't nibbly. Compliant even if she isn't sure of your motives.
Filly #2: Flecka. Chestnut. Does she know she's a horse and not a lap dog? Very sweet, very friendly, but a bit too insistent that she get my attention. Definitely a second choice behind Wrigley, but her insistent nature puts me off just a little.
Filly #3: Red Roan Filly. HOT. Smart, athletic, pretty, a bit behind the growth curve. Hot hot hot. No No No.

I went home and thought about it, talked to Jeff.
The next day I called and told them we'd take Wrigley, the check was on its way.
3 people called them immediately after, all wanting Wrigley. One was from Wisconsin even. good price, good bloodlines, good lookin'.
