Friday Fotos — Horsing Around with Laurie Hanan

By

Horsing around with Laurie Hanan
Intrigued by the idea of polo in Hawai’i? Check out “Another Day in Paradise,” in which dognappings and a sexy Brazilian polo player all come together.

These photos were taken by Hawaii writer Laurie Hanan. We begin with a few rodeo shots, then move on to polo, which turns out to be big in Hawaii. As you would most likely guess, horses aren’t native to the islands. They were first brought there in 1803 when a mare and her foal were given to King Kamehameha as a gift. Horses, ranching, rodeos, and polo became an integral part of the Hawaiian lifestyle over the years. So, today we celebrate horsing around with Laurie Hanan, who got a couple of shots I can’t even believe. Especially, well, you’ll see when you get to the close up.

By the way, I’m always on the lookout for good Hawaii photos. If you have some you’d like to share, let me know and we’ll talk about featuring your shots on Friday Fotos!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.

    These are great! Thanks Terry for sharing them, and thanks to Laurie Hanan for taking the pictures! I especially like the sun setting on the field and the horse in the water at the beach. I’ve heard that horses love to run through the surf at the beach.

      Thanks, Kay. When Laurie told me she had these, I jumped on the chance to show them. When we think of Hawaii, we don’t usually think of horses, but they’re present and a part of the culture. They just don’t surf! :=)
