Quail Roost Hunter Farm sponsors a Seminole County 4-H Horse Club. The name of the club is "Hoofing It". We meet once a month in Chuluota, Florida at our horse farm.
Our club ranges in membership numbers between 15 and 25. The ages we
currently serve are 9-17 although 4-H is open to anyone turning 8 by Sept 1
through the age of 18 or as long as you are enrolled in public school.
Our objective is to provide a safe, supervised environment for children to
explore their love of horses. 4-H is a Youth development program. It is free of
charge and open to all children. Our curriculum is guided by a series of
workbooks provided to us by the State of Florida through the University of
Florida and Department of Agriculture. We follow guidelines established for us
for safety, behavior and member participation. We have a State 4-H Rule Book
that governs our horse shows. The horse shows being only a very small part of
our program.
The leader and organizer of Hoofing It Club is Elizabeth Isaacson.
"Liz" is a professional rider and trainer with her own training facility,
Quail Roost Hunter Farm. Her main focus is teaching children the fine points of
Hunter/Jumper riding and showing. She is currently expanding her level of riding
and training knowledge by exploring the upper levels of dressage.
"Liz" was a member of Seminole County 4-H for 10 years. She showed
successfully at all levels of Hunter/Jumper, Showmanship and Dressage. She
traveled outside the State of Florida at the Regional level representing
Florida, while a member of Seminole County’s fine program. The year she
graduated from high school she was awarded Seminole County’s prestigious
"Horseman of the Year" award along with that came a cash scholarship
with which she attended Valencia Community College with divided interests in
Business Management and Primary Exceptional Education.
4-H is a youth education program which provides
children and young adults ages 5-18 the opportunity to learn life skills they
need to be productive and self-reliant members of society, good citizens and
leaders of tomorrow. You can be members of 4-H by joining a Community 4-H Club,
by participating in a short term Special Interest Program, or by being part of a
4-H School Enrichment Classroom Project.
