Rescue & rehabilitation

Broadening our ability to help horses in need

NEW BEGINNINGS

At the new facility, our goal has been to provide more healing and happiness for our horses and members of our community. By promoting our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy/EAP program, providing more clinics, more volunteer opportunities with our horses, coupled with the outdoors, art and mentorning, we are finding new ways to promote community involvement with horses. The clinics and workshops are unique opportunities that will help HAPI Trails raise funds for our adoption program and awareness for the many abilities of horses.

A Dream come true

Signing a long-term lease on our new property was a dream come true. There are so many opportunities and so many more possibilities. But of course, our “Wish List” has grown! And now, at the top of that is adding a north roofing system to cover the runs for three interior stalls. We will begin a capital campaign to help build this aspect of our barn, completing the barn and stall system with our vet stall, and three recovery stalls with outdoor runs. An arena cover will be next on our list, providing HAPI Trails with year-round arena access for training and rehabilitation.
