The story begins in 2009 - when we just returned to Vietnam and… the nostalgia can't be eased…
We remember the feeling of being immersed in nature, leisurely watching the dawn rise, comfortably sitting on a sturdy saddle that fits snugly on the dashing white horse's back, controlling its steps. Step by step gently and slowly walking on windy roads, through each arch of green leaves, under the feet are newly sprouted grasses with dew rising from the wild road. Wearing the camera around the neck, whenever we encounter a captivating camera angle, we give the command "Stop" to let the white horse stop, allowing us to capture that magical moment of the beautiful New Zealand nature… Our memories in New Zealand are many, but the deepest impression is that no memory can win the number 1 place of the magical moment when walking with friendly horses, mingling with poetic nature.
Nature is so peaceful with friendly horses
During the period of studying and working full of stress, and pressure in foreign countries, whenever we can find time to rest, we often gather and go riding. That's how we find the balance between study and part-time, between work and rest - something we crave after days of wallowing in stress.
Back in Vietnam, our love for horses has grown over the years. More than just a hobby, horseback riding has become a passion. We are determined to spend years learning about saddles, straps, belts, bridles... We care about how horses are cared for, how horses eat... All over Provinces in Vietnam and then from Singapore, Thailand, Japan, to the US..., we almost went around all five continents, visited countless horse camps, rode on countless white horses, black horse…
Where people and animals are cherished
Going around the world, we found out one thing: Human life will be better when kept in a state of balance. Nature will be more beautiful if it is not destroyed and cherished by human hands. Animals will be happier when they receive love and considerable care, as well as we can raise the level of behavior between humans and animals like humans and humans.
One evening during a visit to a horse farm in the US, like every evening, a member of the founding team told a story to his youngest son before going to bed and the story told that day was the legend of Thanh Giong. The legend tells about the endless potential power in every Vietnamese person and at the right time, that latent ability will rise strongly, laying the foundation for radiant successes. The more struggle the tasks are, the higher and higher Thanh Giong would be. The image of Thanh Giong as a representative of many generations of Vietnamese people: love for the homeland, resilience, indomitableness in the face of foreign invaders, solidarity, national pride, intelligence, and agility - these are the priorities that help create strength and competitiveness, improve labor productivity, and create more high-quality products and services...
Thanh Giong represents the will of Vietnamese people to rise
The image of Thanh Giong riding a horse to heaven give us the idea of bringing horseback riding to Vietnam. The head office will be located in Soc Son as a reminder and respect for historical traditions.
In the process of searching for the exact place where the horse farm will be located, tinkering around the "caves and alleys" here, we were kept at the complex of Ham Lon Dam - Ham Lon Lake - Ham Lon Mountain. The majestic mountains stand proudly for thousands of years, the pine forests with thick carpet of fallen pine leaves, covering the ground, become incredibly soft when adorned with purple myrtle flowers that cover an entire area. The wide land and flowers and grass are like flexible and gentle white silks, making the hearts of countless people flutter. The most beautiful scenery is at dawn, sunset, or when the wind blows through and shakes the reed fields, also when you can breathe in the smell of the earth, the smell of the beautiful grass of nature.
The horse farm is located peacefully in the romantic mountains
We respect the pure beauty of nature as we do not renovate too much of that beautiful nature and create dreamy roads to help bring you a variety of experiences when riding. 3km, 5km, 7km, 9km - these are the roads you can choose when leaving the noisy and busy inner city, slow down and quietly look at life, listen to each breath, heartbeat, and think about it again in the past, present and future.
With the use of quality imported protective equipment, under the guidance of a team of professional Vietnamese and international trainers - who have many years of experience in horse care and training, riding and balancing safely on horseback is a way to help you keep a balance between the stresses of life and the peace of the suburbs, between the cramped office space and open nature, loving connection between humans and close animal friends. With our best efforts, by hand-picking horse breeds suitable for Vietnamese people, taking care of each horse's meals and sleeping daily, along with actually experiencing Horse Clubs around the world..., we are very pleased to bring you moments of real relaxation and peace.

Choosing a place called "Rooftop of the Capital", we give you the opportunity to become more mature, overcome your limits, surpass yourself, overcome new milestones, and reach new heights to the goal persistently, firmly, calmly, and full of love.
