Dust lifts from a narrow dirt track as you ease into the saddle; rice paddies spread like green mirrors and village children wave as your horse steps deliberately between raised dikes. The Happy Ranch Horse Farm trail pushes out of Siem Reap’s bustle into a quieter, working landscape — low, watery fields, scattered wooden homes, and the distant silhouette of a temple steeple.
