Kerfuffle in the corral

Horses frolicking at Paniolo Adventures on the Big Island, Hawaii

Early yesterday morning, I drove over the Kohala Mountain Road and stopped at Paniolo Adventures, an outfit that offers horseback rides through the pastures and woods on the slopes of the mountain. Shafts of light cut through the trees lining the road, illuminating parts of the corral, where it was feeding time. The horses were tucking in, but not without some spirited discussion about who should eat where. Hooves were raised, tails flicked, ears laid back, and dust clouds kicked up. But ultimately, everyone got their breakfast to set them up for the day’s rides.
