Horse riding in Estonia combines rural traditions and international performances.

The Equestrian Federation of Estonia, founded in 1922 and re-established in 1990, structures and supports the national equestrian sport.

Events such as the Tallinn International Horse Show, created in 2002, attract riders and spectators in a festive and professional atmosphere.

The native Estonian horse, a local breed, is renowned for its calmness, energy and fluid gait.

In terms of sport, Estonia is represented in dressage by rider Dina Ellermann, the first Estonian to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Other talents such as Grete Püvi, Gunnar Klettenberg, or Heiti Hääl animate the local equestrian scene, both in competition and in organisation.

Numerous equestrian centres welcome our students in a natural setting that is still unspoilt with high-quality facilities.
