I've been curious about this, myself! I don't know my cousin very well at all -- I mean, I haven't met her more than half a dozen times in twenty years -- and all communications are filtered through my uncle, and I'm not quite sure what the whole story is. I got the impression from my uncle that they've had the dream for a long time, realized it wasn't going to happen without my uncle's help, and so asked him to invest. He helped with the down payment, and this colt is officially his because of that, and he pays for the little one's upkeep now.
It is cool, isn't it? I love this idea of starting over this way (before, they both had boring old jobs in Dallas!), especially because they're in their early forties and have been in their rut for a long time now. (Like me! :D) I hope they make a success of it, I really do. And not just for little Starbuck's sake.
