The Solomon Family wishes to acknowledge and honor the Yamasee Indigenous community, as well as the Ehrhardt family, who have stewarded this land before us in Ehrhardt, SC.

Meet Marie
Hey everyone, I'm Marie Solomon—a dedicated wife of over 18 year, mother to our amazing son, equestrian, certified dog trainer, and proud steward of a thriving 42-acre farm in Ehrhardt, South Carolina. Here, amidst the tranquil countryside, I've created a haven where my horses Vision and Gracie, our 5 dogs, donkeys, goats, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, and barn cats and humans alike can connect and thrive.
My journey began with a childhood passion for horses, which led me to study Equestrian Business at Clemson University. However, it was my exploration of natural horsemanship and animal behavior that led me to get certified as a dog trainer through Animal Behavior College that truly broadened my perspective. These experiences not only shaped my professional path but also deepened my commitment to fostering harmonious relationships with all creatures.
Whether teaching young riders about safety, biomechanics, and the joy of horse-human connections, training dogs to excel in various environments, or nurturing my family's needs, my goal remains steadfast: to promote respect, empathy, and lifelong learning in every interaction.
