Magic moment on horseback - If you want to live a unique moment, reconnect with nature and animals as well as know a little more about Laos you will not be disappointed! Superb experience, incredible scenery with great rides on horses typical of Laos. The horses are as kind as they are naughty and Aurore and his team made me have a very pleasant time 😊 Thanks again!

Amazing trek! - It was a magical experience. The trek is not only a horse ride but also a discovery of the local culture through the visit of an organic farm, different villages and a silk factory. Seita explains everything with passion and teaches us a new way of riding ethological horses that makes us think a lot about how we ride in Europe. Horses are adorable and treated with a lot of love and Seita is passionate, always smiling. I recommend!!

Fantastic morning of riding- highly recommend - Saita and her team provided our family with a fun, educational and well organised morning of pony riding. We had 4 children ranging in age from 5yrs to 9yrs, and the guides did an amazing job instructing and teaching them how to groom, ride and care for the ponies. The children rode through the countryside for 1 hour and our route included the bamboo village. The parents were able to join in by walking behind the riders. We all had an amazing time and I recommend it as a lovely way to spend a morning in Luang Prabang.

The best way to discover the surroundings of Luang Prabang - This stable is a little haven of peace for horses and humans! Between forest, river and traditional village, it is an excellent way to discover Laos from another aspect, with passionate and exciting people, who will be able to talk to you about their country and their horses for hours. I had the chance to spend a month here, in this place where it is very easy to feel at home. The horses are all adorable and endearing, each in their own way. They are pampered by Saita, Kamphu and the volunteers, and it's impossible to leave without wanting to come back! Do not hesitate to come and discover this universe, you will not regret it

Definitely worth to visit - I was here for a River, forest and village ride and was totally worth it. I had a wonderful evening where I learned about the horses and also a bit more about Lao. Saita, the owner is a wonderful teacher and guide and speaks perfect english. I was a beginner at riding but she explained everything very well and made sure I felt comfortable at all times :) the ride itself was lovely, especially the river part, but it was great that i also brushed the ponies and learned how to put the horse saddle myself. Definitely a great experience if you a looking to do something else in Luang Prabang apart from the typical touristic things :)

Highly recommended!! - Communication from the Namkhan horse stables was excellent from the start, I was even offered the arrangement for a taxi to collect me from my hotel and return. The horses are kept in excellent condition and are clearly loved. We took a late afternoon ride through a beautiful village and surrounding countryside. Rachel and Namkhan took great care of another rider and myself, regularly checking we were in our comfort zones on the ride. I highly recommend this horse riding activity, which is adapted to suit all levels of riding ability. Thank you for such a wonderful memory on my trip to Luang Prubang!

Amazing!!! - Wonderful experience! Had the best time! The ponies are so cute 🥰 and the instructors were very helpful! I haven’t ridden in ten years or so, but I felt very confident after getting to know the pony I was riding and a short riding lesson. 10/10 would recommend! The country side in Luang Prabang is GORGEOUS especially on pony/horse back🐴🩷
