Our history
It was from the magic of that spark that Chevallove was born, quite naturally.
The story of Chevallove began with a passion for horses and an unconditional love for our horse, Spirit. Chevallove captures a specific moment when horse and rider become one… A moment of grace when time stands still, when their gazes meet and their breaths mingle, in a tender shared moment.
Spirit, the horse who inspired Chevallove
It was during a short pony ride that budding riders Victoria and Julia discovered a passion that would transform their lives and those of their entire family: horses… What these two little sisters discovered that day was more than just a weekend hobby. Their enthusiasm soon forces their parents to face the facts:the horse has entered their lives and will never leave!
“I was eight years old when Spirit joined our family. I dreamed of a very special horse… with a beautiful rump, so I could lie back against it when I was on his back, just like in the movies. And then I met him. His name was Spirit. I felt that connection right away, as if I already knew him. ” - Victoria, 12 years old and Spirit’s proud caretaker.
Spirit has a gentle, affectionate, calm, and friendly temperament; he loves simple things like grazing peacefully, getting scratched, and spending time with us. It is this horse with the gentle gaze and deep breath that inspired a whole labor of love: Chevallove.
Spirit has a somewhat unique story, as he suffers from a rare and very serious medical condition. He is a true warrior who fought for months to stay with us. Today, even though he will never be fully cured, he continues to be our silent guide during Chevallove Moments—the one who reminds us to slow down, breathe, and listen.
The creation of Chevallove
Upon discovering Julia and Victoria’s passion for horses, Josée and Sébastien, attentive parents, saw an opportunity to build an inspiring project as a family, enabling them to set benchmarks for their daughters’ lives, by learning strong values imbued with humanism, love and optimism.
This project is Chevallove, a name coined by Victoria, the eldest. A company name reflecting two benevolent intentions, linked by a tender and responsible raison d’être.
The first intention: to create PUR, a range of health products for horses and humans, and another range of products, just as tender and responsible, for the needs of riders: PRAXIS.
The second intention – our family’s dream – will be made possible by creating magical spaces and experiences in harmony with horses, enabling us to learn from their emotions and change lives.
Together, these two impulses form the heart of the Chevallove project.
