Aloha from beautiful Waimea, where the Paniolo are now riding through knee-deep grass, and the graceful pueo are circling and wheeling above the pastures. The snows have been plentiful this winter and form a sparkling back drop high above the saddle lands. We are so glad to be alive here in this magnificent paradise!
