Francoise’s cousin, Gagik, lives in Ashtarak on a ranch with his wife, Anna, and their extended family.  Ashtarak is a small city which is located 20 kilometers north of Yerevan.  The family manages a summer youth camp on the grounds which specializes in training horses. Below are photos from our day on the horse ranch in Ashtarak.
