SCHOU ABSOLUTE: we believe in re-imagining the future of showjumping with a focus on innovation and horse welfare.
“We founded Absolute Horses in 2012, but our journey with horses began long before that, rooted in a lifetime of passion and dedication. As our business has evolved and grown over the years, so have we, making it feel like a natural step to incorporate our family name into our identity. With this transition comes a fresh new logo, symbolizing the progress we’ve made and the bright future ahead. Surrounded by incredible horses and an amazing team, we remain deeply committed to what we love. Today, we are proud to introduce our new brand name: SCHOU ABSOLUTE.”
