Le Mode
1999 imported Zweibrucker stallion
by Limited Edition
bred by Alfred Kohn
By the successful jumper stallion Limited Edition (Lucky Luke - Lacapo / Capitol I), and out of the performance proven mare Annex, by Symbol (Trak.), Le Mode comes from a line of talented and rideable sporthorses. His incredible suspension and swing, as well as his modern type and powerful free jumping talents wowed judges and spectators alike at the 2001 stallion keuring in Zweibrucken, Germany. Scoring highly on his trot, character and type, Le Mode finished Reserve Champion out of 22 top two-year-old stallions.
Le Mode has competed through Intermediare I, making his FEI debut in Wellington, FL in 2008. He was USDF All-Breeds Champion at Prix St. Georges in 2008 and again in 2015, and finished 2016 as the Intermediare I Champion for RPSI. In 2017, at the age of 18, Le Mode won the Region 3 Fourth Level Freestyle Championships and finished 10th at the US Dressage Finals in Kentucky. The next year in 2018, he successfully competed in several CDIs in Wellington, FL at the PSG/I-1 levels.
Le Mode's offspring are known for their athleticism and high rideability. They can be seen successfully competing in the show ring of all disciplines: hunter, jumper, dressage and eventing.
In past years, Le Mode has sired the high scoring and reserve high scoring filly and colt, nationwide, on the RPSI keuring tour. In 2014, Le Mode sired 3 GOLD Premium foals - 2 fillies scored 8.6 for movement and one colt scoring 8.5 for movement! In 2011, Le Mode sired the #2 (tied) colt on the RPSI Keuring tour - SF Ladies Man, as well as top scoring fillies SF Lovin Feelin', SF La Minuette and SF La Bonita.
Le Mode was also the damsire of the #1 Pony colt in the nation, SF Spirit (Smoke Tree Snapdragon x LeLady Katy - Le Mode), and the #2 (tied) colt SF D'Artagnon (Der Graf x Leda - Le Mode). In 2006, Le Mode sired SIX gold premium foals and TWO silver premium, with THREE foals scoring 8.5 or above! His 2006 filly L'Emmanuelle scored an impressive 8.6 overall!

SF Spirit
2011 German Riding Pony stallion
by Smoke Tree Snapdragon
bred by Solomon Farm
SF Spirit was the keuring champion colt and looks to be an important addition to North America's riding pony stallion line-up. He offers a modern, leggy profile, superbly fluid and swingy, off-the-ground movement, and a kind, willing character, all in a glowing buckskin color! Spirit is the first licensed son of Welsh B sport pony stallion Smoke Tree Snapdragon. Beautiful, generous, and level-headed, this young stallion has the talent to perform in any of the sport disciplines.Although young at his presentation, Spirit was licensed by the RPSI into Pony Stud Book 1 with scores of 8 for his canter and type. He recently began his dressage career and has won several classes with scores in the 70s.
Talent for sport and breeding runs in the family - Smoke Tree Snapdragon is a top producer of Gold Premium German Riding Pony foals. Spirit's damsire, Le Mode, showed to FEI level dressage and produces top-level hunters, jumpers, dressage and event horses, and his daughters are outstanding producers. Lelady's dam Aunt Ettie (Kate) was a champion children's hunter in California.
Spirit's first foals, SF Spirit Moon and SF Spirit Dream, born in 2014, and SF Spirit Luck in 2015, have all scored Gold Premium - and all of his foals to date have been buckskin!
