The Mission

Specific efforts are targeted at recovering and increasing community property values through the rehabilitation of distressed homes, assisting current homeowners in maximizing their home values, and providing high quality affordable rental accommodation, especially the transient military community.
Horsey is our family name. It all started on a small island along the east coast of England, in County Essex, where Michael’s ancestor, Thomas De Horsey, raised horses at his farm. Earliest records of the island date to the year 1212, when it was known as Horsey Hey. It first appeared on a map in 1594 as Horsey Illande. Today, Horsey Island is still privately owned.
Four Horseys is our family name too. Our family; there’s four of us Horseys. Michael and Deanna, owners of the company, and our two kids who are now adults pursuing their own life adventures. But we will forever be Four Horseys.
Meet Michael and Deanna Horsey, the “horsey-power” behind Four Horseys.
World travelers. For over 20 years they lived a nomadic life as Michael served a career as a U.S. Air Force Officer, retiring in 2016. In 2020, Michael and Deanna both joined less than 1% of Americans who claim “All Stater” status, having visited all 50 States. They’ve lived in 7 states, as well as Down Under in Australia. In total, Michael has been in over 30 countries.
Community Improvers. At each location they lived, Michael and Deanna’s life lessons broaden as each offered something different. Driven by their passion for community service, they left their mark through church and volunteer efforts, always finding a way to improve the community. Even the best will have areas that can go from good to great!
Home Renovators. A house is only a house. It’s on you to turn it into your home. Sometimes that means tearing down walls, or adding new features. Living in so many different houses gave the Horsey’s ample experience creating homes, while providing Michael opportunities to learn and sharpen his home renovation skills.
Four Horseys. Package these 25+ years of experiences together and Four Horseys LLC was born Feb 2017, as an effort to improve the greater St Louis community one house at a time.
