Gunstock Ranch is home to the Paniola O Ko'olauloa 4-H Club, a local horse club for keiki. It also welcomes Hawaii High School Rodeo youth to practices and competition. Our arena has hosted various rodeo events including barrel races, roping, and sorting events. In addition to horse related events and activities, Gunstock Ranch is proud to hold annual community events like our community Easter Egg Hunt complete with mounted Easter Bunny, our ever popular Haunted Hay ride during the halloween season. The Headless Horseman always gets a scream! and the Paniolo Country Rodeo, which is held each year at the Gunstock Ranch Arena. Gunstock Ranch is happy to be a part of the Paniolo and non-paniolo community on Oahu.
Boarding at Gunstock Ranch offers large pastures at great prices. In addition to private boarding pastures, full service stalls, and tailoring/hauling service, we have miles and miles of great riding trails! If you are more of an arena rider, we have a great footed arena equipped with cattle chutes for roping. If English riding is your passion we welcome you too. And for those who prefer no saddle at all, well you will feel right at home riding with us! Gunstock Ranch Management appreciates the varied riding styles of every horseman/woman. Although Gunstock Ranch promotes safety, we also respect your freedom to ride as you wish. We like to have happy horses and happy riders!
