Get ready to dust off your boots and add some sparkle! I have some incredibly exciting news to share with all of you.

I am honored to announce that Hawai'i Pā'ū Riders (HPR) has been invited to be ride in the 2027 Pasadena Rose Parade! 🌹

This prestigious tradition started way back in 1890, and Hawai'i Pā'ū Riders has been proudly representing our islands in this parade since 1990.

Hawai'i Pā'ū Riders has been invited once again
to Pasadena to represent the beautiful Hawaiian islands.

👢 Boots & Bling Benefit
All HPR kuleana falls on our riders and our community to ensure our unique Hawai'i equestrian fashion is showcased with pride on the national stage.

🐴 Getting our horses, wardrobe, and riders to the continent is a massive undertaking. To help our riders represent Hawai'i with the grace and pride our islands deserve, we are hosting a Boots and Bling benefit! All proceeds from this event will go directly toward defraying the costs for the riders who will be sharing our equestrian heritage with the world.

🌸 Why We Ride
The Tradition: Carrying on the legacy started by my parents - John & Lita Cook…Love & Legacy.

🌺The Representation: Bringing the colors, flowers, and spirit of Aloha to the 5.5-mile parade route.

The Artistry: Keeping the 19th-century tradition of Pā'ū equestrian fashion alive and vibrant.

I feel beyond blessed for this opportunity to ride for my home and for HPR. Please stay tuned for more details on the benefit—I would love to see you all there in your best boots and bling!

Mahalo nui loa for your continued love and support! 🙏🏽♥️😘
