Ayrudzi is an equestrian club near Ashtarak in the Aragatsotn region, a short drive from Yerevan. It offers horse riding lessons for beginners and improving riders, as well as trail rides out into the surrounding countryside. The club has been profiled in Armenia Discovery's riding guide and in a CivilNet feature, which makes it one of the better known riding options in the country. Riding suits the Armenian landscape, and Ayrudzi gives families, visitors and diaspora travellers a way to see it from the saddle. Bookings and lesson enquiries are handled through the club's own channels.
