Salem Farm

Salem Farm is a small breeding operation and private show stable featuring quality Morgan and American Saddlebred horses. It has been owned and operated by the Alderman Family since 1975. Peggy Clark Alderman was a professional horse trainer when she met Phil Alderman, a successful car dealer and community leader. They married in 1986 and raised their two children, Kate and Spencer, sharing the horse show life as a family.

All of the Aldermans have had successful show ring careers. Phil has consistently been a top amateur, and Kate and Spencer both competed as junior exhibitors. Peggy retired from public training in 1999, reinventing Salem Farm as a private barn.

With a long history of breeding, training and showing great Morgan Horses, the Aldermans have also been long time admirers of the American Saddlebred. They purchased their first Saddlebred in 2003, a World Champion 3-Gaited Mare named CH Evening Dazzle. Approximately a dozen Saddlebreds now reside at Salem Farm. There is always a good mix of Morgans and Saddlebreds available for purchase, including breeding stock, young prospects and finished World Champions. (Source)
