We show that if an ordinary differential equation $x'=f(x)$, where $x\in \mathbb R^n$ and $f \in \mathcal C^1$, has a topological horseshoe, then the corresponding delay equation $x'(t)=f(x(t-h))$ for small $h >0$ also has a topological horseshoe, i.e. symbolic dynamics and an infinite number of periodic orbits. A method of computation of $h$ is given in terms of topological properties of solutions of differential inclusion $x'(t) \in f(x(t)) + \bar B(0,\delta)$.
