Important Information: Our "No Rush" Philosophy

The 1, 2, and 3-hour timeframes listed above are approximate guidelines, not strict limits. Depending on trail conditions, scenic stops, and the time you wish to spend relaxing in nature, your ride may take longer.

Extra time is on us. Any additional time spent out on the trail is not calculated into the final cost, and there are absolutely no hidden surcharges. Our primary goal is for you to fully enjoy the process, the pristine Armenian environment, and your connection with the horses — without ever looking at your watch.

These are private, fixed-price 1-, 2-, and 3-hour rides from our lakeside equestrian club — distinct from the full-day Lake Sevan rancho experience on our general horseback riding tours page.
