Re: What happened to Saddle City?
Oooh, I remember the Haleiwa Pony Farm! During Sunday family drives to Haleiwa, we kids would beg and wheedle and promise to be good FOREVER... and our parents would stop there on occasion.
The carnival rides and carousels were kind of "rackatooted" by then (meaning that they had seen better days), but we never cared about the mechanical stuff. We just wanted to ride the PONIES!
The family who owned the Pony Farm (somehow the name "Cannon" comes to mind?) used to see us often enough that they would let us ride on our own vs. being on a lead, as long as we didn't ride the ponies harder than a canter... no full-on galloping.
After the Pony Farm, we'd usually end up at Sea View Inn for dinner.
My favorite there was the shrimp tempura -- so ono!
