Kauai and horses go together…since plantation times.
In his book Kauai: the Separate Kingdom, Edward Josting tracks the history of ranching on Kauai….”in the early 1800’s there were no fences and horses and cattle ran wild. Later in the mid 1800’s, stone walls and fences were created and branding started being registered in 1848. Horses continued to play a vital role in plantation economics.”
Koloa Plantation Days 2009, from July 18-26 celebrates the Paniolo and plantation history on Kauai. Join the Parade this Saturday the 25th in Old Koloa Town. You’ll be amazed at the gorgeous leis adorning both the horses and riders.
