Santana Equestrian Private Financial (OTC: SEQP) has filed a Motion to Dismiss and a comprehensive response to an environmental petition (Case No. 25-1566) with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, which challenges its equestrian manure recycling and farm-based soil production operations. SEQP asserts a strong legal defense grounded in Florida House Bill 211 (2025) and the Right to Farm Act, both of which protect agricultural activities like manure composting as legitimate farm operations exempt from local restrictions. The company operates a “Delivery Services Partner Program” that coordinates licensed haulers to service over 400 equestrian farms in Palm Beach County, managing about 612,000 pounds of manure daily during peak periods, ensuring continuous waste removal and preventing environmental or public health issues.
While confident in its regulatory compliance, SEQP acknowledges risks including reputational damage, market volatility, operational disruptions, and potential delays in investor partnerships due to the ongoing regulatory review. The company views this process as an opportunity to formalize and strengthen its operations, aiming to secure explicit regulatory approval that validates its waste-to-resource mission. By working collaboratively with regulators, SEQP seeks to advance sustainable agricultural recycling practices, contributing to environmental benefits such as reduced landfill waste and improved soil health, while maintaining transparency and proactive risk management to protect shareholder value.
