I'm so glad I checked Tripadvisor before planning my trip to Siem Reap. I was not disappointed by my decision to visit Happy Ranch Horse Farm. We booked a four hour morning horseback ride and had a wonderful ride. The horses were calm throughout the ride. My friend does not have much riding experience and it had been about six... More

I really really enjoyed my ride with Lucy on the delightful Deliliah who was interested in everything around her (watch out for those pigs and water buffalo though!). It was so good to be on a hack where the horses are not on automatic piliot like they are at so many places. All the horses looked happy and healthy and... More

Thanks to all staff at the Happy Ranch Horse farm for the wonderful opportunity for two complete beginners to enjoy such a special way to see Cambodian life.The horses are well cared for and the two we had were so calm but also had fun in them and we even managed a very short trot. Staff are really friendly and... More

Had a great ride out with my Mum and our guide Lucy. Very nice relaxed horses. Can do American or English. Beautiful scenery. Great respite from trekking round the temples. Recommend a sunset ride for a couple of hours. We went out across rice paddies, down streams, to temples and into the real Cambodia. Managed to get to a easy... More

I researched this place ahead of time, and all the positive remarks were right. They easily told my tuc tuc driver how to find the place, had my horse ready when I got there, guided me through some refreshers (I hadn't ridden in about 15 years) and then we quickly got out to the paths, just one of the staff,...

The stables were nice and friendly but I have had no horse riding experience and had no real training and were not introduced to our guides, just left to get on with it. I walked behind a horse and the manager was horrified and said "the first rule of horse riding is never walk behind a horse" I would have... More

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you did not enjoy your ride. The Happy Ranch manager was overseas in October 2011 and we apologise that you were looked after by a temporary member of staff on the occasion of your visit. Despite considerable horse riding experience, and additional training with us, this former staff member did not meet... More

Last week my wife and I went on a three hour morning ride with the happy ranch. Our trip to Cambodia was amazing and this visit to the Ranch made it even more unbelievable. I highly recommend the place to anyone who is visiting Siem Reap. The rides they do are simply amazing, and they take you off the tourist... More

Maybe the longer rides are better, but the one hour one is not really very scenic. (Especially if you've been on the Quad tour which is just beautiful.) Pretty much mediocre at best due to all the trash. The positives were the staff and horse was great, and of course the friendly kids you pass on the way. More
