The Heart's of Hawkez Haven

Hawkez Haven is not just a place, it is a collection of stories, lessons, losses, laughter, 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 deeply aware of the world around him. He notices everything, tpeople, energy, intention, and responds best when given time and respect.

He thrives on consistency and clear communication, teaching us daily that strength doesn’t have to be loud. Rip reminds us to slow down, stay present, and meet horses where they are, not where we expect them to be.

He carries himself with quiet dignity and continues to shape the way Hawkez Haven approaches connection, patience, and trust.

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.

Brim by Alamosa

(Point Break)

Brim is Rip and Kahu’s brother by Alamosa, carrying both athletic ability and sensitivity. He came to Hawkez Haven after being sold under circumstances that failed to fully reflect his needs and level of experience.

In the wrong environment, Brim could have been overwhelming or unsafe, not through malice, but through misunderstanding and misplacement. Being very new here, he will be given time, structure, and clarity.

Brim reminds us why transparency, honesty, and responsibility are essential in horse sales. At present he is learning to settle, trust, and move forward safely.

RJ by Towkay

(Rampant - Joey) 

RJ came to Hawkez Haven through a formal surrender agreement, ensuring his welfare and long-term care were protected from the very beginning. Formerly known on the racetrack as Rampant, he now lives under a name that better reflects who he is today.

By Towkay, RJ carries the depth and presence of an older horse who has lived a full life. His days are no longer defined by expectation or pressure, but by comfort, routine, and respect.

RJ represents the heart of Hawkez Haven’s commitment — honouring responsibility, providing security, and allowing horses to simply be, without needing to prove anything ever again.
