Providing a happy & healthy environment for horses in need.
Located in the heart of Teton Valley, Idaho, we serve the greater Teton, Yellowstone, and Jackson, Wyoming region.
Our mission is to provide a happy, healthy, and nurturing environment for abused, abandoned and neglected horses.
We are 100% volunteer and dedicated to rehabilitating and re-homing these horses into loving, compassionate, and permanent homes. Thus enhancing the life of the horse as well as the new owners.
HAPI Trails also prioritizes keeping horses woven into the community’s fabric. Horses have historically played a pivotal role in Teton Valley and the western United States. Through our programs and outreach efforts, we strive to ensure horses remain accessible, adding value and enriching experiences for both horse owners and their communities.

A reason for action
Teton Valley, Idaho is a ranching community, and many residents come here to fulfill a dream of living in the West and owning horses. In reality, owners, of age pass away, or find themselves in difficult financial or physical situations wherein they can no longer properly care for their horses. Unfortunately, we have also had to intervene actively in several hoarding/neglect situations and have encountered cases of horses being left behind when their owners go. They can no longer care for them.
A Struggling Past
For horses in need… Since 2009, HAPI Trails has been dedicated to helping these horses. Initially, we could only care for 6 to 8 horses per year, having to turn away up to 6 that needed our help each year. Funding and limited space did not allow for more. Our goal is to rehabilitate and re-home each and every one of them, and taking more would have only put those we already had in jeopardy. It is a slow and costly endeavor and can be heartbreaking at times. Each of these horses deserves a happy and healthy future.
A Healthy Future
In 2017, HAPI Trails signed a long-term lease on a torn-down and abandoned equestrian property located in the heart of Teton Valley. It was filled with broken down fences, severed water and electrical lines, and gofer holes large enough for a good-sized dog to crawl into. But it had 17 acres, 6 large pastures, 7 corrals, some stalls, a round pen, and two outdoor arenas. And… a supportive and encouraging Home Owners Association where the property was located. It was enough space to house up to 25 horses (when funding allows). It was a dream come true.
