Sometimes Paniolo ropes certain animals to save them from getting hurt, but most of the time he uses his lasso to catch freedom and happiness for his Menehune Ohana (family), Lio, and himself. Paniolo is an expert with the lasso. He never misses his target. Trust Paniolo to catch your most heartfelt desires with his lasso! Lio’s and Paniolo’s Manas (spiritual energy) are so closely bonded that they move as one. They are loyal partners holding one another’s fate with their lives and well being depending on each other. The memories of Hawaii’s cowboys are deeply rooted in the values of hard work, perseverance, and love and respect for the land. Paniolo and Lio Malama ‘Aina (honor the land) with everything they do.
