The woman I am purchasing a horse from has gone above and beyond to help make this purchase go smoothly. She is in Oregon, and I’m in Hawaii, so there are a number of logistical issues that need to be worked out. She has taken the time to trailer the horse to the vets for both the coggins, and later for the health cert. She could have just had the vet out, but wanted to save me the money from the farm call. She also offered to drive the horse 3 hours away for the pick up by the professional shipper, though that turned out not to be needed. On top of that she is boarding him, at no charge, at her place for a month until the shipper gets out there to pick him up. She is also mailing me his bridle and fancy show halter, since they can’t go with him on the boat.
I was thinking of putting together a little something to thank her. Maybe a small box of Hawaiian treats (local coffee, Honolulu cookie company shortbread, chocolate covered mac nuts, that sort of thing). Maybe a photo of her former horse all settled in the Hawaiian sun, or at the beach, in a cute, simple frame. I found one with plumeria blossoms carved on it that is nice without being over the top.
Is that too much? Am I being presumptuous? Would you think it was strange to get a gift box from the person you sold your horse to?

I know the Fjords can also carry cream, but I see no indication that he has it. Though with a brown dun it would be more difficult to tell just from phenotype.
