Lavender Dreams Farms' Story:
The Lavender Dreams Farms was started by Dr. Elizabeth Kolve, medical researcher and psychologist, her husband Patrick, an equine specialist, and their daughter Rozalind, a Marketing Director.
One year during the Christmas Holidays we began exploring different possibilities for our 5 acre ranch which is located at the foothills of Tehachapi Mountains, CA.
During our research, we discovered lavender and its remarkable properties. Not only did it have a beautiful aroma, but possessed healing qualities. That’s when the Ah-ha moment came.
Why not turn our ranch, which is located at 4000ft elevation, into a lavender farm? After a lot of hard work, and an intense education, our Dream Became a Reality.
We have been horse owners for most of our lives, loved and cared for them. Knowing how beautifully fragrant and healing lavender is, we decided to create a line of products using 100% pure essential lavender oil and organic botanical extracts. We wanted the products to be of highest quality, effective, good for the horses, humans, and safe for the environment.
Lavender is unique. Its heavenly scent evokes images of a bucolic countryside with peace, relaxation and restoration of body and heart. It has been around humans for more than 2000 years. Greeks and Romans used this native Mediterranean plant to scent soaps, bath water, and to purify rooms. Long recognized for its therapeutic properties, lavender perfumed homes, repelled insects and healed our bodies for centuries. In World War I, lavender was applied as an antiseptic to soldier’s wounds (for more information on Lavender click on Lavender 101).
With a research background in chemistry Dr. Kolve (Elizabeth) became our chemist on the project. Our Flagship product, Lavender Fly Spray for Horses took approximately a year to create. After more than 50 different trials and endless combinations of essential oils and botanical extracts, our fly spray has been launched. It is super effective, long lasting and Natural with a great, rich aroma and is safe for the environment.
Patrick moved from our home in Agoura Hills to the ranch in Tehachapi, CA. There, he worked preparing the ground, installing the plumbing, drip systems, and finally planting the Lavender.
Our daughter Rozalind and partner used her vast experience from the fashion industry to create our Marketing Plan.
So, here we are, a Horse Owned & Family Operated Business.
All of our products are Proudly Made in America, and 2% of all sales go to horse rescue.
Thank you for supporting us and let The Dream Live On For All of Us.

Comments: I love, love, LOVE this product! It keeps the outside of my thoroughbred mare's hooves slick and smooth (but not OVER moisturized) so that mud and dirt don't stick to the outside as much. After picking her feet, I apply Pure Sole hoof spray to combat thrush and use the Lavender Dreams Hoof Oil on top (all over the heels, frog, and sole) to "seal" everything in. Since starting this process, I've noticed her sulcus (the crack running in the center of the frog and on either side) have become much more healthy & shallow. I recommend doing this whole process as your FIRST grooming item. You'll end up with some dirt that wants to initially settle onto the hooves when you curry and brush, but even a twenty-minute grooming session gives time for the oil to settle in. That said, I also brush her hooves quickly right before we go out or she goes back in her stall, and while I think you lose some of the oil to dirt absorption it still works great! We also have a (minor) problem with the occasional rat chewing hooves while horses are sleeping (gross) and the lavender oil seems to repel them! No more chew marks.
