Tying Up

I have recently purchased a horse that tyed up one week after I moved her to my barn.  She went from alfalfa twice a day and oats once a day diet to grass hay only.  She was in pasture but is corraled now (because of shoes).  Did not get much exercise in the first week so she could "settle in".  I asked the previous owner and she said yes she has done this before when she was on the track.  She promptly pulled her from the track environment and never had another episode, but hasn't done much with the horse either.  This was NOT disclosed upon purchase and I am a little upset.  The owner is offering to trade me this horse for her full sister who has never tyed up.  I'm not sure what to do, I really like this mare, searched a long time until I found her.  I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has experience with a horse that has tyed up and has continued to condition for endurance.  Please feel free to e mail me.  I'm in the San Diego area, if anyone local I would love to hear from them especially.
