Finding a Good Horse Property on Maui – Needs & Wants

What makes a good horse property on Maui? Horses are beautiful creatures that steal our hearts and deserve the best we can provide them. You know what they need, and you can find it in Haiku and Upcountry Maui:

• acres to run and kick up their heels
• lush green grass for grazing
• a dry shelter for those rainy days
• some shade trees
• a sturdy fence
• nearby trails

 
If you can give them what they need and want, they’ll be happy and healthy for many years, enjoying this Hawaii life side by side with you.

Desirable Horse Property Features

I come across many great horse properties right here in Haiku, where it’s perpetually green, and also in other parts of Upcountry Maui. I think if I was a horse, I would be quite content on a couple of acres with a nice breeze blowing, and a mild warm climate year-round.

Other desirable horse property features include:

Horse Barns. These can range from a simple shed roof over dirt, to elaborate and expensive barns with custom stalls and spacious tack rooms. I have seen some beautiful barns that would be considered luxurious! How many horses do you need to accommodate? Will you be storing a lot of feed and gear?

Riding Arena. Some of the nicer horse properties have sandy riding rings just for training. Not so easy to find, but I have seen some.

Nearby Trails. Depending on your location, you might be able to go riding right out of your gate, on the unpaved country roads of your neighborhood. With roads less traveled, it’s a nice way to meet your neighbors and get some exercise.
