Le Mode in Wellington, FL in 2008

Welcome to Solomon Farm

Solomon Farm has been experiencing computer difficultites this month -- if you've emailed and had no response or haven't received your DVD or updated pictures yet, please contact me again at my personal email -- adaum@aol.com -- or call 605-685-3089. Sorry for the delays!

Le Mode and trainer Heidi Basler have been winning their Prix St. Georges classes this spring. Le Mode and Heidi are pictured above showing in Wellington, FL in early spring of 2008. We're proud of this team, and also thrilled with the Le Mode offspring we've bred here at Solomon Farm -- they are superlative!

Foaling season is almost over -- and we have some FANTASTIC babies this year. This has been a year for colts, and every one is special! Visit our Salehorses page to see more pictures, as we get them posted.

Der Graf, along with trainer Missy Fladland, earned a coveted spot schooling under top German dresage rider/trainer Monica Theodorescu in California, fall 2007. Monica commented on Der Graf's talent for dressage, which didn't surprise her considering his outstanding bloodlines! Thanks to Missy Fladland, of La Riata Ranch, for making this possible for Der Graf!

We're also proud of our Fall 2007 Keuring results -- Der Graf sired SEVEN Gold Premium foals, and Le Mode sired TWO (out of TWO presented!) Gold Premium foals. Our first sport pony foal, Firefly, by Smoke Tree Gold Fever, out of our new PREMIUM MARE Motown, was the STAR of the keuring with an amazing Gold Premium score of 8.5 overall! Congratulations! See these AWESOME MOVING FOALS and more on our Salehorses page.

Solomon Farm bred Grand Prix jumper Sympa under rider Daniel Geitner

What else is new? The 2007 USEF Breeder awards results are in, and Solomon Farm (Ann Daum Kustar) ranked THIRD overall in Jumper Breeding, just under VDL Stud! So far for 2008 USEF Breeder Rankings, we are number one! Congratulations to the fabulous Solomon Farm-bred RPSI mare Sympa (pictured above), up and coming star in the Grand Prixs under rider/trainer Daniel Geitner of Aiken, South Carolina! Many of our other young horses are making us proud in the show ring -- see results from the USDF Breeder's Series shows for Dolce Vita, Dante Alligheri, Leandros, L'Emmanuelle, Leda and Evensong on our Show Results page! Looking for an under saddle prospect? We have started our coming three year olds lightly under saddle and they are looking superb. Watch the Salehorses Page for updates ...

Thinking about buying a young horse but think it's too expensive to board and train in your area? We offer reasonable boarding and training packages so your young horse can grow up here at Solomon Farm, and come home to you ready to ride! Call or email and ask about it!

Solomon Farm hilltop view onto the White River valley

And now an introduction to our farm. This is land made for raising horses -- rolling prairie hills, knee-high grasses, fertile valleys and dramatic river-bluff vistas. Raised on 4,000 acres of South Dakota's White River valley, Solomon Farm's Rheinland Pfalz-Saar sporthorses are athletes from the start. Step inside to see some of America's finest moving young prospects for dressage, hunters, jumpers and eventing, representing the best sporthorse bloodlines from Europe and America. Our young horses grow up strong and sound, with the freedom to run on hundreds of acres of grass and rolling hills. Many horses bred for sport have lost this particular freedom, and the athleticism and soundness that comes from such a natural upbringing. We are dedicated to breeding top quality sporthorses. This is our only business, and we are serious about producing the kind of horses you will love to ride, show or breed -- and keep forever.

Come visit Solomon Farm, stand on any hilltop and you'll overlook miles of rich prairie grass and rolling hills, the White River meandering through the shade of cottonwood trees, broodmares grazing beside their foals.

Myself and one of our broodmares, Lumina

Breeding sporthorses is my passion. Every foaling season is a chance to hope and pray, to rejoice in success, and to evaluate the result of a year spent planning and caring. Every foal is special, but some are born with just the right combination of beauty and talent and soul, and will go on to change the world for some lucky owner. I hope that will be you. You are most welcome to step inside and get to know us a little better. We think you'll like what you see.

Please feel free to email or call with any questions about the farm or our horses. You may reach me, Ann Daum Kustar, at 605-669-2879 or on my cell, at 605-685-3089. I look forward to talking to you!
