Description

On our pony rides, your keiki (kids) have a chance to do something they'll always feel proud of. Riding a horse is an unforgettable experience for kids, and our wranglers will help them become little wranglers in a setting that’s safe and comfortable. Parents can walk alongside their child at no charge and get a few great photos along the way. Parents can also ride a horse alongside their child for the same price. One of our wranglers will lead, or “pony”, the horse while the kids sit in the saddle and feel on top of the world. Parents and kids alike can take in the beautiful scenery on the ranch, enjoying native Hawaiian plants, birds, and a cool, fresh breeze. Gunstock Ranch is situated in one of the most picturesque spots on Oahu’s North Shore, so there’s plenty for all ages to appreciate. After the ride, children will have a chance to feed and pet the horses for the perfect end to a great adventure.

Perfect pony adventure

We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Shaylee for our little one’s pony adventure! She loved riding the trail, and we (the adults) walked along for fun. Libby was kind and gentle and perfect. Next time we’ll have to consider a family ride along. 😀 And the petting zoo was fun. You could get up close and personal with some very friendly farm animals.

Operator response

Aloha, we are so pleased that you had a fun time with Libby and Shaylee. Don’t be afraid come back and ride with the rest of your family. You can even request Libby and Shaylee. You can call us if you have any questions. Mahalo nui

Although she was nervous at first, my 2yo ended up having such a wonderful time riding a pony for the first time and said she can’t wait to ride again! Our guide, Ocean, was so knowledgeable and patient when my toddler had questions. The petting zoo was free and amazing as well!

Operator response

Mahalo for the great review! We are so glad that your toddler had such an amazing experience and has begun to cultivate a love for riding. Ocean is incredible and loves her job and the ranch so much, as do we all. We hope to see you back again soon!

Pony/Horse ride

Already was looking forward to horse-back riding as we’ve been wanting to go for a while & Gunstock did not disappoint. Loved that each horses had their own quirks; we got the adorable Buckles & Libby! The wranglers were all friendly too, shout-out to Addie. It felt comfortable as if I was just with a friend. So fun! Would love to do another longer ride.

Operator response

Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad to hear that you loved your time with Buckles and Libby and Addie! We would love for you to join us again for a longer ride!

Amazing Experience!

We had signed up to this ride for our children in advance of our July trip and it was well worth the wait. The pending weather on the original day forced us to reschedule, but they made it easy for us to do so. Upon arrival we were transported from tropical island Hawaii to an amazing country farm with the kindest hosts and staff we could've hoped for. They were all super attentive to our children and as delightful as they could possibly be. Our horse ride tour guide Connor really stood out. Genuine, warm, and great with kids. Even though he was relatively new to the farm, he had a confidence about him to make sure that both our girls were comfortable and had fun on their ride which helped put us parents minds at ease. Bravo Connor on a job well done! Buttons and Remy were our two horses who were gentle and sweet. I made friends with Eddie, the local stallion. The petting zoo was nice too, but watch out for those goats if you have chow in your hand, they will demand your attention (in a good way)! We will certainly be back again. Mahalo!

Amazing first-time horseback experience for my toddler

I signed up my 2.5 year old for her first horseback experience, and I’m so glad that I did. A few things that made this worth the $ compared to other usual kiddie horse rides: (1) they put the kids on an actual horse, not a pony; (2) they take the kid/horse on a nice trail ride, not just going around in circles in the ring; (3) horse brushing and feeding after. Our guide was named Connor, and we had a gorgeous and gentle horse named Kip. Connor was so good with my toddler - she looked nervous at first but got comfortable and even smiled a little for pictures along the way, haha. I could see Connor talking to my toddler as they walked, which was so sweet. Kru also accompanied us, and for the adults it was also a pleasant stroll to follow the horse ride. My kid has been talking about the experience ever since. Thank you!!

Operator response

Thank you for the kind review! We are so glad to hear that your kiddo loved their time with us! We are so happy to hear that your little one loved the experience with Connor and Kipp as well as Kru! We would love to have you again!

Fun and friendly

My kids liked brushing the pony’s and feeding them treats. The view was spectacular, and the ponies were very gentle. Our guide was very friendly, and my son keeps taking about taking his pony Buckles home to California lol.

Operator response

Mahalo for the kind review! We are so glad to hear that your little ones loved their time here with Buckles! We would love for you to join us next time you are in Hawaii!
