Pua-Piper

Comfort

She's our #1 cuddle bug! We met Pua-Piper when she was 3 months old (still at her mom's side), and she captured our hearts. Our first true love! Her kind eyes serve as a gateway into the depths of her sweet, warm, and incredibly cute soul.

Poi'nelopi

Comfort

She's our #1 glam girl! She may sport buttons and bows, but she comes by her charm and gentleness naturally. Her flash grabs your attention, but her personality speaks volumes to your heart. She quietly enjoys her job, and we adore her.

Pepe

Comfort -- in training

He's our #1 brave adventurer! Full of panache, his personality packs a punch! He's determined and not afraid to lead the way! Barn cat drinking from his water bucket — no worries, he'll march over and stop the nonsense.

Tutu Roxy-roo

Comfort

She's our all-around #1. At 34 years, she's our matriarch!! A rock solid sweetie pie, she's also fluffy, fun, and a veteran when it comes to comforting! She's been there, done that, and wants to do more! Everyone loves Roxy!!

In addition to featuring two of our mini horses, we shared a little bit about our hometown, Ewa Beach! *** Coloring books were gifted to SHRINERS HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN, ONELAU'ENA (Emergency Family Shelter in Kalaeloa/Barbers Point), ONEMALU (Transitional Shelter in Kalaeloa/Barbers Point), RESPONSIVE CAREGIVERS OF HAWAII (in Kalaeloa/Barbers Point), and BARBERS POINT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL and many individuals!

Keiki Care Kits (Project completed)

We focused on the children at Onelau'ena -- the EMERGENCY FAMILY SHELTER in Barbers Point/Kalealoa by delivering closed to 100 Keiki Carer Kits!

Our Goal

This EMERGENCY FAMILY SHELTER is in our own backyard! Our goal was to provide a little happiness into the hearts of children transitioning into the shelter.

What is the difference between a pony and a miniature horse?

PONIES are usually distinguished from normal horses by their stature and size. Compared to horses, ponies often have thicker coats, manes, and tails with shorter legs and a thicker neck.

MINIATURE HORSES are bred to look like a full-sized horse on a much smaller scale. Usually a slimmer build and longer legs.

We're looking forward to developing volunteer programs (for keiki and kupuna pairs) but we haven't gotten there quite yet!
