North Shore Stables is the product of equine enthusiasm x community devotion.
Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible horsemanship opportunities to our community’s youth, and to cultivate employment opportunities to our community at large.
To perpetuate this mission, we have developed youth programs and created over 100 jobs for our local Hale’iwa-Waialua community.
Join us for a lesson or a trail ride, or host a private party with pony rides with us. Let’s cultivate experiences together that will last a lifetime, create moments to remember, and foster relationships we can build on.
Scholarships
The NSS scholarship program was created to nurture our mission to provide horsemanship opportunities to those who would not otherwise have access. Through our scholarship program, we successfully sponsor 1,200 lessons per quarter!
Applicants are asked to answer a few questions about their demographics, and recipients are chosen based upon financial need and academic achievement. Current students of NSS are also sometimes chosen as recipients based on their personal growth at the stables.
Our 2022 NSS Scholarship Application is currently open!
Work-Ride-Trade Program
The NSS Work-Ride-Trade Program is designed to support youth who are interested in, and committed to, learning about horsemanship but are unable to afford formal lessons due to financial circumstance. Students enrolled in the program exchange their time and efforts working at the stables for formal horsemanship and horseback riding lessons provided by NSS Instructors.
This program has been the heart of the stables even before we officially opened to the public in August of 2021. Before we before we were able to hire an extensive equine-care team and expand our herd, students of the Work-Ride-Trade program put in the work with outstanding commitment. Many are still with us today, and some have even entered into employment with us.
