This handsome horse in Maryland is quirky and very lovable! Dapper Dylan is looking for a home where he can hang out in the field and eat some good grass and grain with his buddies. He’s on the smaller side, so he may be up for some short pony rides, too! He has also done well with younger volunteers leading him to his stall to eat or be groomed.
