Reining in Chaos: How CavaloHQ is Revolutionizing Equine Business Management

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa.--With a passion for uncovering stories that make a real difference in people's lives, I recently discovered a platform poised to transform the world of equine business management: CavaloHQ.com.

cava 1The brainchild of Katey Hakizimana and her husband William Hakizimana, CavaloHQ is more than a tool—it’s a lifeline for small riding program owners drowning in the daily chaos of running their businesses.

Katey’s inspiration for CavaloHQ stemmed from personal experience.

As a mother of two horse-loving daughters, she spent years visiting riding camps and facilities.

What she saw behind the scenes shocked her: wads of cash, soggy checks crumpled in pockets, and frazzled owners trying to juggle payments, scheduling, and paperwork.

"These owners love their horses and clients, but the business side? It was clear they needed help," Katey explained.

Determined to make a difference, Katey and her husband launched CavaloHQ, assembling a team of dedicated engineers to build a user-friendly platform.

Their mission?

To help equine business owners not just survive but thrive—by organizing operations, simplifying payments, and increasing profitability.

cava 2“We’re walking alongside them, showing them how they can feel good about their businesses again,” Katey said.

CavaloHQ’s features are tailored to the needs of small equine business owners, predominantly women aged 25-55 who often feel the pressure of making lesson programs work.

The platform offers tools to manage summer camp enrollments, promote programs on social media, and streamline communication with clients.

The result?

Owners spend less time on administrative headaches and more time doing what they love—caring for their horses and teaching.

cava3For those struggling to keep their lesson programs afloat, Katey’s message is clear: “This isn’t just software; it’s a way to regain control and passion for your business.”

Want to see the difference CavaloHQ can make?

Start by creating your summer camp sessions on the platform.

Your next chapter of organized, profitable success might be just a few clicks away.

Equine Colic Relief, a miracle formula

I wanted to thank you and just placed a re-order of your miracle formula.

E. Colic reliefTwo days ago, my mare Fay began colicing mildly, and my heart sank.

She is not the healthiest horse to begin with.

I thought, do I give her Banamine now?

Then I remembered, wait! I have a bottle of that colic relief in my tack room.

It’s been there for a long time, maybe five years?

EC2So, I checked her vitals and administered the ECR formula.

Literally 10 minutes later, her whole posture became reanimated, her eyes were bright and wide open, and ears where upright and engaged.

From being stretched out, pointing at her abdomen, head hung low with those sad eyes and flat ears, to pain free and back to normal! In 10 minutes!!

Fay literally looked at me and said THANK YOU MOM!

I’m happy I caught it in the early start of a problem and was able to resolve it so quickly with your product.

Thank you ECR! Jane, Prescott Ariz., on Oct 23.

HE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!
