Meet Celeste
FINALLY! Celeste has headed to training!
June 7, 2026
Striking blue eyes and a bold spirit — meet Celeste.
Quick Facts
-
Name: Celeste
-
Age: 10 years old
-
Breed: Paint Horse
-
Sex: Mare
-
Height: 15
-
Registration: Not registered
-
Training Level: Minimal groundwork; not yet under saddle
-
Special Needs: Needs training before adoption
- Adoption Fee: TBD
Backstory
Celeste was one of 10 horses rescued from a breeding situation in Boise. When she arrived, she carried the guarded nature of a horse who had lived most of her life without consistent handling.
Personality & Temperament
With her striking blue eyes, bold black-and-white coat, and solid build, Celeste stands out in any pasture. She is very curious — often the first to lead her pasture mates in a playful romp or greet us at the fence line. While still green, she has very dedicated volunteers working with her to build her trust and confidence.
Training / Abilities
Celeste has had limited formal training but is making steady progress.
-
Does not currently halter
-
Enjoys human attention
-
Comfortable with grooming, external medication application, and hoof handling without a halter
While Celeste remains at HAPI Trails, our focus is on advancing her groundwork so that she becomes safely and consistently handleable.
Health & Care
Celeste is sound, very athletic, and built for durability with strong, straight legs, a solid barrel and neck, and a bold presence. She is up to date on routine care.
Ideal Home / Adoption Vision
Celeste is best suited for an experienced adopter who is comfortable working with unstarted horses and continuing her foundational training. She is curious, intelligent, and enjoys human interaction, but she is still early in her handling journey and will require patience, consistency, and knowledgeable groundwork.
Why Celeste
Celeste is a striking mare with a curious nature and a strong interest in people. She enjoys human attention and is beginning to build the foundation of trust and handling that will shape her future.
For the right adopter—someone patient, experienced, and excited about the process of working with a horse at the beginning of their training journey—Celeste offers the opportunity to build a relationship and help guide her development at her own pace.

Standing approximately 16.1 hands tall, he is currently in professional training and continues to make steady progress toward becoming a dependable riding partner.
With a curious mind, willing attitude, and plenty of natural ability, Eli is developing the skills and confidence needed for his next chapter.
Personality & Temperament
Eli is an athletic horse who is still building confidence and learning to navigate the world independently. He is very aware of where other horses are and finds comfort in the herd, which can sometimes lead to separation anxiety or moments of uncertainty.
As his training progresses, Eli is learning to focus more on his handler and build confidence away from other horses. He continues to make steady progress and shows promise as a future riding and trail partner for an experienced horse person willing to continue his education.
Training / Abilities
Eli has completed more than two months of professional training and is currently beginning a third sponsored month to continue building confidence, consistency, and foundational skills.

• Moving comfortably under saddle at the walk, trot, and canter
• Athletic, responsive, and eager to learn
• Enjoys working with people and building relationships
• Shows strong potential as a riding and trail partner
While Eli has made significant progress, his training remains focused on strengthening his groundwork and confidence. He can experience separation anxiety and may occasionally become spooky in unfamiliar situations, but continues to improve with consistent handling and thoughtful training.
Health & Care
Eli is healthy, sound, and up to date on routine veterinary and farrier care. He is a strong, durable horse with excellent athletic potential and smooth movement typical of his breed.
His recent training has focused on both physical and mental development, helping him gain the skills needed to become a safe and reliable partner.
Ideal Home / Adoption Vision
Eli is best suited for an experienced rider who enjoys developing a horse’s potential and continuing their education. He will thrive with someone who is patient, confident, and committed to reinforcing the groundwork and confidence-building skills he is currently learning.
While he has not yet been introduced to extensive trail riding, we believe Eli has all the qualities needed to become an excellent trail and recreational riding horse with continued experience.
Why Eli?
Eli is a horse with tremendous potential and a bright future. He combines athletic ability, intelligence, and a kind nature with the opportunity for an adopter to continue shaping his development.
His third month of professional training is helping fill important gaps in his foundation, and each week he becomes more confident, capable, and connected to his work. For the right adopter, Eli offers the chance to build a rewarding partnership with a talented young horse who is well on his way to becoming something special.

Dusty is easy to handle and remains comfortable with routine care such as grooming, veterinary visits, and farrier work. With thoughtful management, she continues to enjoy a comfortable and happy quality of life.
Ideal Home / Adoption Vision

She loves human interaction and would enjoy a home where she receives plenty of attention, grooming, and affection while living a relaxed and comfortable life.

Age: 16 years old
-
Breed: Mustang

Sex: Mare
-
Registration: Not registered

Backstory
Roxanne is a stunning roan Yakama Mustang mare with a strong independent spirit. Since arriving at HAPI Trails, she has remained one of our most elusive horses. Despite years of consistent, calm care and multiple professional training attempts, Roxanne continues to prefer keeping her distance from people.
Her story is a reminder that not every horse arrives ready to trust humans—but every horse still deserves safety, respect, and the opportunity to live comfortably.
Personality & Temperament
Roxanne is intelligent, observant, and extremely cautious around people. She is naturally wary and prefers to maintain space between herself and humans. While she may watch you closely from across the pasture, she is not a horse who seeks out human interaction.
Her instincts and independence are very much in line with her Mustang heritage.
Training / Abilities
Roxanne has participated in several professional training attempts over the years, but she continues to strongly prefer minimal human interaction.
She is very difficult to catch and is highly cautious and easily startled when handled. Once caught, she tolerates essential care such as hoof trims, dental work, and vaccinations.

Roxanne is healthy and up to date on veterinary, dental, and farrier care. Although catching her can be challenging, she has proven cooperative enough to receive necessary care when handled.

Roxanne would do best in a home that understands and respects her independent nature. She may be best suited to a low-pressure environment where she can live comfortably with minimal expectations and patient, experienced handlers.
Why RoXANNE
