Welcome to Our Ranch
Our mission at Hawaii Horsemanship Academy is to provide accessible and affordable horsemanship opportunities for our community, creating pathways into a field where access is often limited.
Our Mission
Founded in 2024, Hawaii Horsemanship Academy is just beginning its story. Our owner brings 20+ years of experience with horses, and over a decade of teaching kids to ride.
Humble beginnings, early foundations, and the first day he began trading lessons for bags of horse feed all led to this: a brand new kind of educational facility with a determination to break barriers and build bridges between our community and horsemanship.
Let’s face it—the world of horsemanship and horse ownership has become extremely exclusive. Once upon a time, everyone in Hawaii knew how to ride a horse, as it was the ultimate form of transportation. Hawaii has had a colorful, fascinating history of partnership with horses going back to the 1800s…so why should it stop?
For families living a country lifestyle, and for those looking to reconnect with it, we are here for you. Let’s ground ourselves in a little of the past and bring those values into the present.
Get some dirt on your boots with us, and you'll be happy you did.
Our Promise
At Hawaii Horsemanship Academy, we promise to do our best to provide a fun, safe, and welcoming place for riders of all ages. We’re here to help you learn, grow, and fall in love with horses—boots, dirt, and all!
