Giving back is in our nature

Chevallove is a company with a social vocation, aiming to create revenues that will finance a humanistic and meaningful dream: to offer a place where humans and horses can find well-being and serenity, and share together. For this reason, we want to financially support non-profit organizations working to safeguard the welfare of equines, and to protect those to whom we owe this family adventure, the horses.
