Tondi Ratsaspordiklubi

What Tondi Ratsaspordiklubi does

Tondi Ratsaspordiklubi is an Estonian non-profit (MTÜ) equestrian sports club founded in 1996 and based at the historic Tondi Maneež, a 1939 building regarded as the cradle of Estonian riding sport. The club has been a member of the Estonian Equestrian Federation since 1997 and operates with a roster of at least seven trainers, including dressage rider Dina Ellermann, long-tenured manager Sirje Argus, and therapeutic riding instructor Sirje Seiger.

The club runs a vertically integrated equestrian program: a pony group for children aged 4–9, an adult and youth riding school, horse half-rentals, box rentals, summer and day camps hosted at partner site Perila Tallid, birthday parties, stable tours, and an in-house competition calendar anchored by the Tondi Cup and Ponikarika series. Training is delivered in person at the Tondi venue; there is no disclosed technology platform underpinning operations.

Revenue is generated entirely from member fees and service charges. Pricing includes training subscriptions (40–520 EUR/month), horse half-rental (400 EUR/month), box rental (600 EUR/month), camps (90–385 EUR), events, and an annual membership fee (29 EUR). A revised price list took effect September 1, 2025, internal rules were updated in August 2025, and 2026/27 season registration opens July 27, 2026. Customer base is approximately 200 active members drawn from hobbyist families and competitive riders; there are no enterprise customers, sponsorships of material size, or external funding rounds disclosed.
