Hi everyone! The 2025 for calendar for H4H is going to be a tribute to Snakey. We would love your input. Please dig through your photo albums and digital files for high quality printable pictures of your time in Seminole riders and H4H over the years. The photo must have Snakey in the picture and be a high resolution version. This will be a short turnaround to get it printed in time so please have your inputs to us by 11/26/24. We will try to get as many pictures in the calendar as possible with as large a representation of the lives she touched over the years. Please email to: [email protected]
If possible please title the photos with the approximate year.

Do you have a pr***en or teen who loves horses? Do they beg you every day for lessons or a horse of their own?? You don’t need to tell them no any more. You can bring them to our 4-H youth program!!!

Please reach out to us here to learn more or come on out to meet us!

‼️‼️It has come to our attention that the post office workers at our post office did not put our mail in the correct PO Box causing some of our mail to be returned to sender. If this happened to you and you had intended on sending a donation in Snakey’s name, our PO Box is in fact, still functioning as are we! We apologize for this inconvenience.

✉️📪Our address is
P.O. Box 3748
Seminole FL 33775

You may want to check with your bank if you sent it from there directly as well.

We are very sad to share that the head of our herd, Mary "Snakey" Urquhart, died yesterday October 17th 2024.

We know that so many of you know and love her and cherish what she brought to your own personal lives. This program would not be in existence, had it not been for her and her passion for teaching and horses. She taught many of us life lessons that we will carry with us forever.

When details are known about her services and her celebration of life, we will share them.

Thank you, Snakey, from all of us.

Attention!! We need referrals for tree companies!

Also,
We have a group of volunteers coming this afternoon at 3pm to start clearing the smaller tree trunks and branches from our riding ring, barnyard and pastures. If you have any energy left, or time, we would appreciate any help. We would like to get back to offering our program to our riders but we need to clean up some. We also are desperate for ANY tree removal company to come and help us clear our driveway at the very least. Not one has gotten back to us!! Please send any companies you know to Leah!!
