Gelding for Sale in Austin, TX
Delano was removed from negligent owners by law enforcement and placed with Bluebonnet. Once he gained weight we realized he suffered lameness from an old injury. The lameness left him unridable - fortunately, his adopters weren't looking for a ridable horse! They wanted a horse that kids could pet, lead, groom, and love. And Delano fit the bill. Unfortunately Delano was returned to the rescue in March 2021 when his adopter was no longer able to care for him. Delano is a sweet horse who is easy to catch, lead, and load. He is lame from old injuries he suffered before coming to BEHS. Because of this, he is available for adoption as a companion/pet only.
Available for adoption to Texas and surrounding states. No breeding or reselling. Apply to adopt at https://www.bluebonnetequine.org/adopt-a-horse/
About Austin, TX
Austin, Travis County and Williamson County have been the site of human habitation since at least 9200 BC. The area's earliest known inhabitants lived during the late Pleistocene (Ice Age) and are linked to the Clovis culture around 9200 BC (over 11,200 years ago), based on evidence found throughout the area and documented at the much-studied Gault Site, midway between Georgetown and Fort Hood. When settlers arrived from Europe, the Tonkawa tribe inhabited the area. The Comanches and Lipan Apaches were also known to travel through the area. Spanish colonists, including the Espinosa-Olivares-Aguirre expedition, traveled through the area for centuries, though few permanent settlements were created for some time.
