Mauna Lio Ranch and the Fractional Ownership plan has just celebrated its one year anniversary. We celebrated by butchering a pig and roasting it on a spit, island style. We had a luau!
Here's a picture of the 100+ pound pig roasting over a wood fire on a spit setup in our arena. We purchased the little piggy at less that 50 pounds and fed her about 150 lbs of feed. She grew at over a pound a day.
We learned a lot in the past year. Our mix of horses has changed as we tried to establish the business based on the client's needs. At first, we had lots of kids and parents. Of late, our clientele are working adults who have had horses in the past but could not own one now for one reason or another. Mostly the riders come to get a horsey fix or to maintain a mode of physical therapy.
We've been able to work out the insurance issue by getting commercial equine business insurance and coverage as a riding stable.
