Scenes from Hawaii Horse Expo -- Big Island at the historic Pukalani Stables on Parker Ranch (August 2014)



A "blessing of the horses" by Kahu Kealoha Suglyama

A memorable dinner at Linda Tellington-Jones' Big Island home.  She likes the book too!

In the lobby of the beautiful Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel on Hawaii's Kohala Coast (host hotel for Hawaii Horse Expo) ,I discovered the beautiful paintings of the late John Young, a Hawaiian artist know for his horses and seascapes.  According to a relative, John Young first became intrigued with carousel horses as a child. Changes in his depiction of horses evolved from the time he later spent with horses and observing them.

Nothing like horse paintings to say Aloha!  The Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel was landed Travel & Leisure's 2013 World's Best Beach, Hawaii  award.  There's a view from every room at the resort, but even better was experiencing it.
