Our Story

Ohana Aina, LLC (Hawaiian for "Family Land") was founded by Hawaiian born and raised Melissa Pankas in January, 2015. Ohana Equestrian Preserve was created to preserve open space, celebrate Virginia's proud equine tradition and to share the facility with the community. The ‘ohana’ concept carries with it a certain responsibility, an obligation to take care of those in your circles, as they take care of you.

 

 

To John and Tess Jubinsky, who swore they never would be Virginia landowners, we are so thankful you changed your mind! Without you, Ohana would never be.
