The Big Island Has a Premier Equestrian Community!

When you think of the Big Island, you image white sand beaches, palm trees swaying in the wind, and the warm, relaxing ocean. Yet did you know that a large percentage of the island is used for farming?

With over 4028 square miles of land on the Big Island, you can find many homes with pastures and animals. This is especially true in Waiki’i Ranch, located on the slopes of Mauna Kea.
