Kelvin's Story
Kelvin – Thoughtful Mustang Seeking the Right Experienced Partner<br/><br/>Kelvin is a 3-year-old BLM Mustang gelding in training with Jade Thompson of Double J Training & Horsemanship.<br/><br/>On the “Dewey to Thunder” scale of personality and difficulty, Kelvin lands somewhere in the middle. From the start, he was watchy and cautious, but willing to engage. He made quick early progress — one of the first in his group to accept a halter, become catchable for turnout, lead outside his pen, and allow grooming.<br/><br/>Recently, Kelvin decided catching wasn’t part of the plan anymore, turning it into a bit of a game. With some extra eyes on him and a fresh approach, Jade has him back on track and rebuilding those earlier skills. He’s working toward being consistently catchable, leading calmly, standing for grooming, and moving forward with tying, picking up his feet, and trailer loading.<br/><br/>Kelvin is intelligent, sensitive, and full of potential — but he’s also the type of horse who needs an experienced hand to bring out his best. At this point, he will only be considered for adoption to someone with significant mustang or advanced training experience, who can continue building his trust and consistency without rushing him.<br/><br/>Apply now to adopt Kelvin and meet him at the Dakota Showdown Finale, August 23–24, 2025, at the Yankton Rodeo Grounds in Yankton, SD!<br/><br/>Birth Location: Carson City Correctional Facility<br/>Birth Date: 7/1/2022<br/>Herd Origin: Antelope Valley
