Some Reminders

Turnouts

Koko Crater Stables has limited turnouts. These pastures are available to all riders. Please be aware of others and limit your turnout time if people are waiting. Water is not provided in the turnout areas.

No Trail Riding

In 2008, the City and County of Honolulu restricted the use of the Koko Crater Botanical Garden Trail, which was long used for trail riding. Because of the increased popularity of garden visitors and with everyone's safety in mind, horses are no longer allowed in this area. As such, we do not offer trail riding or rent horses.

Rain and Floods

Koko Crater Stables has no covered arenas. For your safety, and the safety of our horses, lessons are canceled in the event of severe rain and/or flooding.

About Our Foundation

The Koko Crater Stables Community Education Foundation (KCSCEF) was founded in early 2017. This nonprofit was initially established to raise money for large repairs to this derelict city property. The foundation, while continuing to help restore Koko Crater Stables, is moving into future projects. Besides repair work and constant maintenance, the fund is creating and funding programs for the public.

KCSCEF is a nonprofit organization that functions as a separate entity from the boarding operation and riding lessons run by Horse Haven LLC. It is incorporated in the State of Hawaii and is a qualified tax-exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, Federal 81- 4998858.
