Our Family Legacy
At SCHOU ABSOLUTE, our story begins with a lifelong love for horses. From a young age, horses have been an integral part of our lives, shaping our values and guiding everything we do. This passion was passed down through generations, growing into a commitment to provide the best care and support for the horses in our care.
When we founded Absolute Horses in 2012, it was a natural next step in our journey. Over the years, we've learned many lessons—about horses, people, and the importance of integrity in business. As we’ve grown, we’ve stayed true to what matters most: hard work, respect, and a genuine love for what we do.
Changing our name to SCHOU ABSOLUTE reflects where we are today, honoring our family’s legacy while looking toward the future. Our values—putting horses first, improving every day, and treating others with respect—remain at the heart of everything we do.
This new chapter is about honoring the past while humbly embracing new opportunities. We’re proud to carry this legacy forward, step by step, and we’re grateful to everyone who’s joined us along the way.
