About
Golden HOOF
Equestrian club
Golden Hoof was founded by Ksenia, whose life has always been closely connected with horses.
In 2018, she rescued her first horse in Vietnam — a moment that defined the values and direction of everything that followed.
That experience became the starting point of a journey built on care, responsibility, and deep respect for horses as living beings, not tools for entertainment.

Ksenia has worked with horses for many years, including professional experience in Russia as a riding instructor and trainer.
Her approach has always focused on calm communication, patience, and the long-term well-being of each horse.

These values became the foundation of Golden Hoof — one of the first equestrian clubs in Vietnam created with horse welfare at its core.

Today, we offer riding lessons, guided tours, and equestrian experiences where safety, trust, and genuine care come first — for both horses
and people.
Our club is located in a cozy green area just 15 minutes from
the center of Da Nang, within a picturesque countryside eco-complex.
It’s quiet, spacious, and safe here.
Nature, open fields, the breeze, wide horizons — an ideal environment for working with horses and taking a break from the city.

Meet Our horses

  • Apachi

    Apachi is the heart of our stable.

    Strong, calm, and incredibly reliable, he is an experienced horse with a gentle and steady character.

    Apachi is patient with riders of all levels and creates a deep sense of safety and confidence from the very first moment in the saddle.

  • Aurora

    Aurora is the matriarch of the herd and its quiet leader.

    Highly intelligent, observant, and deeply experienced, she approaches every task with calm focus and clarity.

    Exceptionally patient and confident, Aurora knows her boundaries and works with precision. She is powerful and fast in the canter and gallop, yet always composed and thoughtful in her movement.

  • arizona

    Arizona is young, energetic, and full of curiosity.

    She is affectionate, loves human attention, and enjoys close, gentle interaction.

    Despite her age, Arizona is calm, well-balanced, and easy to communicate with, making her a favorite among guests who value sensitivity, connection, and emotional comfort.

  • Armageddon

    Armageddon is Aurora’s son and one of the most people-oriented horses in our stable.

    Confident, curious, and completely comfortable around humans, he naturally builds trust through openness and warmth.

    Armageddon loves touch, attention, and spending time with people. Like all our horses, he is well-mannered, relaxed, and safe to be around.

  • ALASKA
    Alaska is the youngest member of our stable — a curious and energetic foal born from Apache and Aurora.
    Full of personality and constantly exploring the world around her, Alaska is interested in absolutely everything happening nearby. Every day brings new discoveries, playful moments, and new experiences as she grows and learns about life within the herd.

A small team united by care for horses, attention to people, and a genuine passion for equestrian life.
  • Ksenia
    Founder
Horses have been a part of my life for more than 30 years. Over time, this connection grew into a professional path built on patience, trust, and deep respect for horses as living beings.

When I moved to Vietnam and rescued my first horse here, it became the beginning of Golden Hoof — a place created not only for riding, but for building a calm and ethical environment around horses and people.

At Golden Hoof, my focus has always been on horse welfare, safety, thoughtful training, and genuine connection between horse and rider. My goal is to share the world of horses in a way that feels honest, respectful, and meaningful for both people and animals.

  • Maria
    Equestrian trainer
For almost 20 years, horses have been a central part of my life, and for more than 8 years I have been working as a riding instructor and horse trainer.

Over the years, I have developed not only as a rider and athlete, but also as a trainer who works with both the horse and the rider as a partnership.
Alongside teaching children and adults of different levels — from complete beginners to students achieving their first competition results — I have also trained horses for my riders, which helps me better understand the individual needs of both.

In my work, I value a calm, biomechanical, and thoughtful approach to riding and communication with horses.
I continuously study, improve my knowledge, and refine my methods to create safe, effective, and enjoyable training for every student.

My background includes show jumping and dressage competitions, prize-winning placements, judging club competitions, and preparing students for their own first competitions and achievements in equestrian sport.

During my lessons, students learn not only how to ride, but also how to understand the horse, work with it from the ground, and develop awareness of both the rider’s and the horse’s movement and biomechanics.
