Keep the Stables Stable

O’ahu’s Equine Legacy is Under Attack

Preserve Koko Crater Stables as Oʻahu’s public equestrian community recreation resource.

Tell City officials to preserve the land in use by the current equine provider and protect it from proposals of competing interest.

The Koko Crater Stables area has been dedicated to horsemanship activities since 1962. It is more than a facility. It is a place for horses, keiki, families, riders, volunteers, learning, and community connection.

Help us encourage a cooperative solution rather that the elimination of a historically relevant and therapeutic resource for all of O’ahu.

Save the Stables.

Want to Help? Please Call.

Please call the Mayor’s Office at 808-768-4141 and respectfully say:

“I oppose any plan that removes or displaces horses and stables at Koko Crater. Please preserve Koko Crater Stables for equestrian use and find another appropriate location for archery recreation.”

Every call helps show that this issue matters to families, riders, students, and the wider Oahu community.

An Irreplacable Public Resource

Koko Crater Stables has served Oʻahu’s equestrian community for decades. It offers something that cannot easily be rebuilt elsewhere: existing horse facilities, an established setting, community knowledge, and a living connection between people and animals.

For many children and families, horses are teachers. They build confidence, patience, responsibility, empathy, and respect for living things.

Once an equestrian resource is removed, replacing it requires land, specialized infrastructure, experienced care, funding, and years of effort. We should protect what Oʻahu already has.
