This ‘tall drink of water’ stands about 16 hands with long, straight legs, a solid build, and beautiful blue eyes. He’s a 5-year-old MFT Perlino. He is currently in training and should be available for adoption this summer.

She is art in motion… (Mainly because she’s running from you!) A beautiful BLM Mustang, she came to us obese and suffering. She is as strong minded and wild, as much as she is physically strong and beautiful. After almost 9 months with us, this overweight, foundered and un-rideable mare has lost the weight and her feet are on the mend – thanks to our dedicated volunteers who have been diligent about her care. Memphis is now heathy enough to begin training later this summer. We image the line to adopt her will be very long… (Hopefully we won’t need that ‘line’ help to catch her!)

I’M A SIDEKICK and PENDING ADOPTION!!

Our resident Mule. Opie is a glorious 30+ years old and doesn’t act a day over 20. He’s a big boy with a solid disposition and a solid girth – dieting doesn’t seem to help. He’s happy this way and stays active. Opie is a retired Forest Service mule out of the Salmon Idaho district. He was retired with 4 other equine who have all been adopted. We really wish he could find his forever home too! He’s non-riding now, but fully engaging and easy to keep. Don’t you want a mule to hang out with?

I’M A SIDEKICK!

Hopefully, it’s obvious how she got her name. Sunshine is a beautiful Palomino mare who found her way to us in the fall of 2020 after a lifetime of neglect and mishandling. She continues to struggle with trust and acceptance of human interaction, but as her health flourished, so did her willingness to receive some care. If the sun is shining, this cute mare enjoys a gentle touch… and if you’re willing, a few butt scratches.

Lily, our longest resident, came to HAPI Trails in 2011 from Blackfoot Law Enforcement. She was removed from her home with her yearling and 3-year-old. The young ones found a forever home, and Lily found her way to us. She has an old hoof injury that keeps her from being ridden and makes her difficult to trim (she doesn’t like it being touched – at all). Other than the hoof issue, she is a doll. Loving, easy, and beautiful. She gets along with all critters and is ready and willing to find her forever home. Photo: LaraAgnew

A stunning roan, Yakama Mustang mare. This girl has our number and calls it regularly to tell us to ‘stay away.’ She’s our most elusive horse to date. Other than when in the trailer for the ride to HAPI,
she won’t allow anyone to get close. We called in the professionals for this beauty. And even though she has been through several training rounds, she still prefers to remain elusive. Once caught, she is a bit spooky but trusts enough to have her feet trimmed, her teeth floated, and her vaccinations completed. No matter her calling: wild, companion, trail, or jumper. We want her to have the right number!

ADOPTED!

Popi was a jumper and enjoyed traveling over the fence to visit with the other wild mustangs. For such a small-stature horse, the fence didn’t seem to be an issue (at least not in the winter!) Popi was removed from the Yakama reservation sometime in 2018 or 2019 and brought to Teton Valley, eventually finding his way to HAPI Trails in 2021. Healthy and robust, he’s been through training and is fun under saddle. While his training continues, embarking on a new journey, we wish him a future full of exciting adventures and taller fences.
