The Heart's of Hawkez Haven
Hawkez Haven is not just a place, it is a collection of stories, lessons, losses, laughter, high emotions, tears, hope and healing, and lives that have shaped who we are today.
Each horse here has left a mark. Some still walk beside us, others live on in memory, but every one of them is part of the heart that keeps Hawkez Haven beating.
With us Today
Rip by Alamosa
(All Class)
Rip is thoughtful, intelligent, and highly aware of the world around him. He notices people, energy, and intention, and responds best when given time and respect. He reminds us to slow down, stay present, and meet horses where they are, not where we expect them to be. Strength isn’t always loud. Rip carries himself with quiet dignity most of the time and helps shape how Hawkez Haven approaches connection, patience, and trust, though he does enjoy being the “most popular in the paddock” a little too much at times.
Kahu by Alamosa
(Kahu Rock)
Kahu is honest, expressive, and refreshingly clear about how he feels. He doesn’t pretend, doesn’t mask discomfort, and doesn’t tolerate mixed signals, which makes him an incredible teacher when approached with fairness and consistency. He challenges people to show up calm, grounded, and present, rewarding clarity with trust and softness. When things are done right, Kahu gives everything.
Kahu has played a big role in shaping the way Hawkez Haven handles pressure, communication, and emotional awareness, reminding us that respect is always a two-way street.

(Point Break)
Ritz is athletic, sensitive, and still learning to fully settle into himself.
He carries presence and power, but needs structure, clarity, and calm handling to feel secure and safe.

Haven by Tavistock

There’s a softness about her that settles both horses and people, making her a steady presence within the herd. At the same time, she has plenty of sass, a strong boss attitude, and is fully convinced she is in sole charge of everyone she’s currently grazing with. Haven plays a grounding role at Hawkez Haven, reminding us that leadership doesn’t always look loud, but is often felt more than seen.
Electra by Charm Spirit

Diablo by Vespa
(Unregistered)
Diablo is a 3-year-old colt with sharp intelligence, strong curiosity, and a naturally cheeky personality.
