Parker Ranch was established in 1847 and remains one of the largest and oldest cattle ranches in the United States. In 1992, following the death of sixth generation Parker descendant Richard Palmer Kaleioku Smart, it became part of the charitable Parker Ranch Foundation Trust. PRFT’s mission is focused on the sustainability of the Waimea community, the hometown of Parker Ranch, by providing perpetual support for PRFT’s four Waimea-based beneficiaries: Queens North Hawai‘i Community Hospital, Hawai‘i Preparatory Academy, Parker School Trust Corporation and the Richard Smart Fund of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Parker Ranch, Inc., established in 1995 and wholly-owned by PRFT, continues cattle ranching and is proactively leveraging its and the trust’s extensive land and natural resources to support the trust’s beneficiaries, achieve a secure energy future, expand the sustainability of local food systems, and facilitate the general betterment of the Waimea area.

Did someone say it’s aloha friday?!

Waimea’s first horses were descendants of the Spanish mustangs, brought over in 1830.
In 1899 Alfred W. Carter was named the new Parker Ranch Manager. He started investing in the improvement of the horsemanship and training of the ranch horses. In 1901 his vision began with a well executed breeding program based on careful selection of dams and sires. His goal was to develop a phenomenal line of sound cow horse, draft horse, military remount, and racing and polo horses. In 1916 he began importing Thoroughbreds from England to improve their bloodlines

Parker Ranch not only produced fine working ranch horses but also exceptional race horses and polo ponies.
Parker Ranch took great pride in their horses and horsemanship. They even supplied horses to the Japanese emperor and his royal riding stable, along with the U.S. Cavalry and Army included General Patton.

Parker Ranch’s horse legacy continues to this day with 32 broodmares and 4 stallions

A few of our Parker Ranch wahine had the opportunity to attend this year’s Hawaiʻi Business Magazine Wahine Forum — Hawaiʻi’s largest leadership and career development conference for women.

It was an inspiring day of connection, learning, and celebrating the strength and leadership of women across our islands. We’re grateful to have been part of such an uplifting event, made possible through the generosity of one of our beneficiaries, Hawaii Community Foundation who continue to invest in empowering Hawaiʻi’s communities.
