Rider Scholarships
While we try to keep our riding sessions as low cost as possible, there are still families that cannot afford to pay for riding sessions. Providing a scholarship for riders allows them to experience the benefits of therapeutic riding. Scholarships can be purchased at the barn or on the website.

We will be clearing all fence lines, running hot tape, picking rubbish and rock that have come to the surface during the spring rains, and out planting propagated native trees and shrubs. (And if we get really lucky with the timing of the barges, assembling more horse-stalls.)
If you have heavy equipment, trailers, or dumpsters to loan for the day please coordinate in advance by emailing hhkauai@gmail.com
