Adoptable Horse: Delvin To It, a 7-year-old, 16.3hh Thoroughbred gelding Organization: Horse and Hound Rescue Foundation, Guthrie, Okla.
Delvin To It was responsibly retired from racing and is now eagerly searching for his next career path. With his elegant movement and graceful presence, he shows promise as a versatile prospect capable of excelling in various riding disciplines. Delvin To It is a sensitive and intelligent gelding who requires a patient, understanding handler. He is slow to trust and may initially display hesitation or uncertainty. However, with time and patience, he is gradually building confidence and forming stronger bonds with those around him. While he may not be suited for a beginner rider due to his sensitivity and greenness, in the hands of the right person, he has the potential to excel in any sport.
Delvin To It is a work in progress, with a focus on building trust and confidence in his interactions with humans. His sensitivity requires a gentle approach, and progress is being made through consistent, patient work. Each day brings improvements, and he is showing promising signs of development as he becomes more comfortable.
If you’re an experienced rider looking for a rewarding project horse and are willing to invest the time and effort into Delvin To It’s continued training and development, we encourage you to consider him for adoption. His sensitive nature and potential for greatness make him a special candidate for the right individual or family.Photo courtesy Horse and Hound Rescue Foundation
