Horseback Riding in Oahu - On Oahu you've got "city" and then you have "country". Many people think that Oahu has just "city" alone. Not so. There's plenty of "country" on the island as well. Obviously Horseback riding and "country" go together, so you can expect to take a trip out of the "city" to enjoy a ride. This could mean a car trip of about an hour to an hour and a half from your hotel in Waikiki, but it is well worth it. The horseback riding on Oahu is found on large ranches that are primarily located on the North Shore. There's lots of interest in all things "equestrian" on Oahu and many folks have their own horses boarded on these ranches. There are also lots of local events that involve the general community in the "paniolo" lifestyle of the islands.
