Thank you author/photographer Lindsay Humphrey and the NRHA Reiner magazine for reaching out to us and doing an incredible job capturing who we are and what we do! We couldn't be where we are today without the support of friends, family, mentors, and wonderful clients!

As reining continues to grow in new and unexpected ways, the quiet, humble work of NRHA Professional Tyler Smith is making 🌊🌊🌊 in his home state of Hawaii.

((For Your Consideration)) CHARLIE BROWN. 8 year old 15’1 hh Grade gelding. Would make someone a great head horse. Big, strong, ready to go to work. Does great out on the ranch, would be ready to go to a sorting. He has been lightly patterned on barrels and poles.

A new Sheriff in town.

Meet our most recent arrival here at SFE. Sheriff is a beautiful appaloosa gelding who just started a new chapter in his life. Having never been ridden, the progress he has made in a short time has been tremendous. Each horse takes a unique approach and we are thankful for the learning opportunities that they provide us.

Congratulations on your purchase of Houston Sparkles aka Tilly. Tilly did a great job showing at her first reining. She has a bright future ahead of her!

This round-pen is where c**t starting/horse training all started for Tyler: "I wanted to start one more c**t in Helemano Gulch with my dad Troy Smith whom I owe for passing on our family's knowledge and setting me on this path as a horseman and horse trainer. Thank you for everything you do for me."

Thank you Remount for keeping our horses strong and healthy. We are proud to partner with such a great product. We were introduced to Remount here in Hawaii and have put nearly all of our performance horses on this suppliment. We feel that the amino acids along with the CBD component, are particularly useful in the day to day recover from the extensive training required to develop a reining cow horse.

See her here first!!

For your consideration: DUAL FASHION KIT (Easter)

Easter is a 2017 (5 year old) AQHA mare by Equi-stat Elite $3 Million Sire KIT DUAL. Her talent, beauty, and breeding makes her a prospect for a variety of disciplines. Currently in training with Smith and Flavin, Easter is well-started in reining maneuvers and has worked cattle in and out of the arena.

Please PM me or Smith and Flavin Equine for all available information or contact us at 808-227-0507

Waialua Mustang got a well deserved day off from regular work, but it was still a day of firsts! Here is the first time he was haltered loose in the pasture. We love how relaxed he was today.

Hi everyone! We've been working with a horse that came in a couple months ago untouched by people. We decided to document his progress when we began his training a few weeks ago. Keep an eye out for his first ride in the next couple days!!

Meet Meghan!

Meghan Flavin is one of the faces behind Smith & Flavin Equine. She was born in Peru, but has lived in the states since she was 7 years old. Flavin has always had a love and passion for horses! From working on a race track to working with some of the top reined cow horse trainers, Meghan has done it all!

She says, “Tyler and I decided to move back to Hawaii to start our dream business. It’s our goal to educate people, provide great horse services, and continue to raise the performance horse standard in Hawaii!”
