Great experience while vacationing in Luang Prabang. The staff is great, the owner is wonderful (she speaks French, English and Lao). The horses are cute and very well trained. It is perfectly safe for young children and first time riders.

Saita, the sweet lady owner is able to communicate fluently in 3 different languages.. French, English and Loatian.. after we booked the tour.. was informed that we had just met the max limit ( weight or height ).. so we assumed this activity could have catered mainly to kids .. Also, after booking, we received a message asking what time we preferred ..9am Or 4pm. It’s a lovely experience per previous reviews.. Totally recommend it!
It was a really beautiful and relaxing experience, and the staff was very kind. Make sure you message them on Whatsapp to confirm what time in the day you want to come!
I had a wonderful horseback ride at Namkhan horse stable ! The experience was incredible and really diverse, we even rode to the river and explore the forest near Luang Prabang. I 100% recommend it. The team is super attentive and friendly.
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.
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 :)
My children age 4 and 8 have just ridden down to the river and had a great time. The ponies are fantastic and so well cared for and the children were really well looked after too. We would definitely recommend
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!
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🐴🩷
Great Experience! Super nice host… well cared ponys and a special experience on a rural track… strong recommendation
Saita always makes the riding experience memorable. Our daughter's favourite LP activity. Highly recommend
I had the best time with NamKhan horses. The horses are really friendly and in good shape. My ride was perfect, we went in the river and galoped. I really recommend doing this if you like horses!
I brought some friends with their children to Namkhan Horses Stables. The kids had an amazing time and loved the ride. Before the kids went on the ride they learned how to take properly care of a horse and also groomed the ponies. The ride started in the riding area and then continued on a trail in the jungle. The staff here really takes great care of the horses. Highly recommended. I'd bring any friends with children here again.
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! Rachel
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!!
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
