About us

Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started riding at the age of five, and what began as a childhood passion grew into a lifelong journey. My love for horses brought me to the Netherlands, where I studied Equestrian Sports and Business. After my studies, I had the privilege of working as a freelance groom for top international riders, traveling the world and experiencing the equestrian industry at the highest level. Throughout the years, I saw firsthand how much quality equestrian equipment costs, how quickly riders outgrow or replace gear, and how difficult it can be to find a trusted place to buy and sell second-hand items. Most transactions happened through scattered social media groups, where searching, comparing, and building trust was often challenging. As life evolved and I became a mother, I found myself spending less time at the stable but never losing my connection to the horse world. That's when the idea for Havado was born. Havado is built by a horse person, for horse people. It is a place where riders can easily give quality equipment a second life, discover great deals, and connect with a community that shares the same passion for horses.
