• Registration: Not registered

• Training Level: working through 90 days

• Special Needs: Sun Visor for his eye, companion for his anxiety

• Adoption Type: Experienced Rider (2 free lessons will be provided by Maple Spring Horsemanship to help with his transition)

Backstory

Eli is a 7-year-old Tennessee Walking Horse gelding with striking Paint Perlino/Cremello coloring, a strong build, and an athletic way of moving. 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.

• Leads, loads, and handles well on the ground
• 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.

• Training Level: Retired barrel horse

• Special Needs: Companion only due to knee injury

• Adoption Fee: $750

Backstory

Dusty won our hearts the moment she stepped off the trailer. Emaciated and weak, she had fought hard to stay standing through a two-hour haul to HAPI — determined not to give up.

She would do best as a companion horse where she can enjoy a relaxed lifestyle, regular care, and plenty of human interaction.

Health & Care

As Dusty has aged, keeping weight on her has become more difficult, and she requires attentive nutritional management to maintain good body condition. She currently receives daily grain and medication, along with a consistent feeding routine to support her health.

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

Dusty would do best in a home looking for a companion horse and devoted pasture mate. She will thrive with an adopter who can provide a consistent feeding routine, daily grain and medication, and the attentive care that helps her maintain good body condition.

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.

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.

Health & Care

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.

Why RoXANNE
