Agricultural tourism to learn about farms is a trend that many tourists are interested in, especially schools and family groups in urban areas. They want to have an environment for their students and children to have practical knowledge from the perspective of "learning to play, playing to learn". In Thai Nguyen, there is a quite methodical and impressive destination to experience agriculture (animal husbandry), which is Ba Van horse farm in Binh Son commune, Song Cong city.

Ba Van Horse Farm (now the Mountain Livestock Research and Development Center) is under the management of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. This is where many horse breeds are researched, preserved, bred and cross-bred. Among them, racehorses and white horses are considered the most precious types. In addition to horses, there are also buffaloes, goats and a few ostriches to serve tourists.

Previously, the facility focused mainly on research activities, but recently, due to the needs of tourists who want to visit and experience, the facility has opened its doors to welcome tourists every weekend ( On weekdays, visitors must notify the facility in advance for a thoughtful reception). Coming to Ba Van horse farm, if you just visit the farm and take photos, it will only cost 30,000 VND/person. Here, visitors feel like they are lost in the Mongolian steppe, not in Thai Nguyen. The sight of hundreds of horses galloping and the image of herds of horses leisurely grazing also surprises visitors. 

You can experience horse feeding, petting or posing next to the friendly horses for beautiful photos on the prairie. In addition to watching and learning about horses, visitors can visit a buffalo farm with hundreds of animals, along with goat and ostrich farming models. Visitors can also immerse themselves in the green meadows and pose for photos with a cool green tone. In particular, visitors can also experience horseback riding on the steppe. This is a quite unique service, for only 20,000 VND, you can experience this service under the guidance of the staff and have some accompanying costumes such as hats and shirts.

Recently, Ba Van horse farm has attracted many students from schools in Hanoi and some other localities to experience it. For this experience service, groups often have to book in advance with the facility to ensure service conditions and instructions. During the one-day experience, students will learn about livestock farming models on the farm, each type of livestock with quite detailed information from the facility's staff about: Breeds, characteristics, how to identification, food sources... Children will experience feeding and riding horses. The process of learning and studying at the facility includes competition between groups and summarizing lessons, so the students are very excited. These are very practical lessons about real life, helping children appreciate the value of labor and have the experience of being true farmers, loving nature and livestock more.

Ba Van Horse Farm is located in a beautiful location on the banks of the Cong River, right at the overflow bridge of Binh Son. This place has quite a poetic scenery. In the summer, every afternoon, this river wharf is like a miniature beach serving the needs of local people to cool off and enjoy the beauty of nature. I don't know when, but this place has sprung up quite a lot of tents to serve the needs of tourists on weekend picnics. They want to return to fresh, cool nature and return to childhood memories. Next to the rural river wharf are the green grass slopes of Ba Van horse farm. Lawns planted to provide food for horses have become beautiful and rare check-in spots for tourists.

Due to the specific characteristics, Ba Van Horse Farm only has sightseeing and agricultural experience activities, not culinary or accommodation services, so visitors can connect with a number of other destinations in the area such as: Ban Village Thai Hai, Ghenh Che Lake to make your travel journey more complete. In particular, this series of destinations will help visitors have impressive discoveries and experiences about agriculture, ecology and community culture in Thai Nguyen.

If you have the opportunity to travel to Thai Nguyen, do not forget to stop by Ba Van horse farm to experience and roam the Vietnamese version of the steppe.
