According to the rodeo club, Hawaiian cowboys pre-date the Great American Western culture by generations when King Kamehamhea was brought wild cattle in 1794. Followed by that were horses and then the Pinolo culture and cattle began.

“It’s a performance that’s sure to entertain and inform. We’ve worked hard on this pageant,” said Miranda.
