Don't have pictures yet. One of the studs on the sire side says hypp n/n but I don't see impressive anywhere. She doesn't have confirmed papers for a name from AQHA yet but here's mare & sire papers.

Depends on what you're trading for her. I honestly wouldn't give much for her, but her papers just aren't something I personally would seek out. But if you're getting a great deal, she might be worth a shot.

Trades can work out very well . . . Personally, I have traded a few times and both perties were very happy long term. The key is that we knew the "value" of each horse involved and we each valued the horse we were getting more than the one we traded. For example, my first trade was a greenbroke Half-Arab gelding for a seasoned black Straight Egyptian stallion. Both horses were exceptional in their own way, pedigree included. I was looking for a hunter-type black SE sallion, and she was looking for a gelding that was an English type. My ramblings are meant to say please do your homework on the filly you would trade for. What would your plans be and would the filly you already have fit your plans as well or better? I agree the pedigree is not "exciting," but it depends on what each of you are looking for.
If you do trade, make an iron-clad contract detailing what happens before, during, and after the trade. I had a 3-page contract even with a friend of 12 years who I knew like a sister. Contracts protect each party and leave no unanswered questions.
