History

The Story of iCavalos

iCavalos was born in 2023, but its roots go much deeper, planted in love, loss, and a relentless passion for horses. It began not just as a business, but as a mission a way to honor a life, a dream, and an unbreakable bond.

At the heart of iCavalos is my late mother, Sophie. Legally blind, she faced the world with courage few could imagine. Her horse, Calvados, was more than a companion he shared an extraordinary love with her. Their bond was unmatched; he was her eyes, her therapy, and her purpose. Sophie dreamed of competing in the Paralympics in Tokyo, pouring her soul into every ride. But in 2020, when COVID-19 lockdowns prevented her from visiting her horse, she lost the one thing that gave her joy. Tragically, she passed away that same year due to depression.

iCavalos was created in her honor a living tribute to her strength, passion, and resilience. Every halter we craft carries her spirit and the love she shared with Calvados. Every stitch, every rivet, every design reflects a dedication to safety, care, and innovation inspired by their journey.

To protect this innovation, an international patent has been deposited, ensuring that iCavalos remains a unique, groundbreaking product in the horse industry.

🛡 Innovation & Safety

Our halters aren’t just beautiful—they’re revolutionary:

  • Made of fire-resistant, flexible PVC that is stain-resistant and weatherproof.

  • Fully customizable, handmade, and waterproof, tailored to each horse’s unique needs.

  • Features a breakaway safety system, designed to snap under dangerous pressure, preventing injury or death.

  • Already credited by customers for saving horses’ lives no comparable product exists on the market.

🩺 Veterinarian-Approved for Hygiene & Safety

Hygiene is as important as safety. Traditional leather and fabric halters can harbor bacteria, especially when wet or soiled. This can lead to infections or skin conditions, particularly in sensitive or high-performance horses.

  • Our halters are bacteria-resistant and easy to clean, making them safe for long-term skin contact.

  • Many veterinarians recommend iCavalos halters because they support hygiene and wellbeing, critical in barns, clinics, or high-performance environments.

💖 More Than a Product

iCavalos isn’t just about halters. It’s about hope, second chances, and the bond between horse and human. Our customers don’t just buy a product; they join a movement, honor a legacy, and become part of a family.

Every story we hear from our community reminds us why we began this journey—to transform a moment of grief into something meaningful, to ensure every horse and rider experiences safety, comfort, and love.

Through iCavalos, Sophie’s dream, courage, and the love she shared with Calvados live on, inspiring every horse we touch and every rider who trusts us.
