About Us

Welcome to SCHOU ABSOLUTE—a business driven by passion, dedication, and respect for the equestrian world. Founded in 2012 as Absolute Horses, we’ve grown and evolved into the company we are today.

Horse welfare is our priority. We believe happy, healthy horses are the key to success, and their well-being guides all our decisions.

Rooted in Denmark with a global vision, we’re excited for the future. Our journey is shaped by tradition, innovation, and a passion for lasting partnerships.
