Equimondo was not born in an office. It was born in a Normandy yard, out of a family exasperation handed down like an inheritance: paperwork steals time from the horses.
The details of this timeline are being confirmed by the family: the broad lines are true, the anecdotes will be made precise. Version to be confirmed
It all starts with the great-grandfather, for whom the horse is not a hobby but a working companion, in Normandy. From that time the family keeps one conviction: you owe your time to the animals, not to the paperwork.
The next generation opens the yard to liveries. The stable books pile up: livery, care, accounts kept by hand in the evening at the kitchen table. The problem Equimondo would one day solve is already there, in the ink of those books.
Sébastien's parents run an equestrian business: lessons, riders, memberships, invoices. Sébastien grows up between the arena and the office, and watches his parents spend their Sunday evenings on the bookkeeping instead of in the stables. He will remember it.
Now a developer, Sébastien makes the only logical choice for a yard owner's son: build the tool his family would have wanted. No fundraising, no investors to satisfy, and one compass: give horse people their time back. That is why managing horses is free for life: in this family, you do not charge for the horse.
“We did not invent a piece of software.
We repaired four generations of Sunday evenings.”
As things stand, no e-invoicing mandate applies to you: your invoices follow your own province's tax rules (CRA), and everything on the horse side stays free for life.
Equimondo works everywhere in Canada: Quebec, Ontario, Alberta or British Columbia.
