About The Farm

Some Day Soon Farm, a private Hanoverian breeding station, is dedicated to producing the finest riding and competition Hanoverian Sport Horses. In that pursuit we are proud to stand stallions imported from Germany, who have impeccable breeding, and whose reputations and whose famous sires’ reputations are based in no small part on the rideability qualities displayed by their get. We are committed to a hands-on approach to raising our foals and take great pride in the overall care we provide to the new offspring each year. We are extremely diligent in anticipating and meeting the exercise needs and nutritional requirements of the foals and of all the breeding stock.

The Property

Some Day Soon Farm is a private 250-acre breeding station located in Frederick County, Maryland owned and managed by Suzanne and Steve Quarles. This is the third farm we have started from scratch. We adopted the name, Some Day Soon, from a familiar Ian and Sylvia folk song because it expresses our unending future hopes and plans. The facility on Glissans Mill Road was purchased in 1996 and was completed in 2001. We meticulously planned every detail of this newest farm. It is a culmination of a lifetime of horse involvement.

Among the many barns, the focus of the farm’s activities is the 27,000-square foot, 33-stall central barn with breeding facility, laboratory, and indoor riding arena.

Presently, we own four Elite Hanoverian stallions – Weltbekannt, Nocturno, Anhaltiner E, and Loerke (presently on loan to Rolling Stone Farm), offer frozen semen from our farm’s foundation stallion Wertherson, and host some 75 horses – brood mares, foals, yearlings, and 2-year olds. We love to welcome visitors and show off what we've been able to establish here – please come and see us when you have a chance.

The Owners

Steve and Suzanne with friends

Suzanne Quarles, and her husband Steve, own Some Day Soon Farm, but are more than committed overseers. Suzanne began riding horses in her youth on a Connecticut farm, has been a professional horsewoman for over 30 years, and has operated the breeding business since 1977. She has been a nationally recognized Combined Training Judge and Technical Delegate since 1976 and currently serves as a mare and stallion judge and Chairperson of the American Hanoverian Society’s Mare and Stallion Committee, and is the Society’s Executive Vice President. Earlier in her career, Suzanne bred and raised Thoroughbreds exclusively as sport horse prospects. She purchased three Hanoverian fillies in 1988, and then unexpectedly encountered the opportunity to acquire the Elite Hanoverian Stallion Wertherson in the fall of 1989. The rest, as they say, is history.

Steve, the farm’s cheerleader and self-proclaimed non-horseman (though he grew up riding horses on Kansas quarter horse farms and in the Colorado mountains) is the weekend farm warrior and codesigner of the farm's facilities. In his other life, he is a Lawyer in a major Washington, D.C. law firm who specializes in natural resources, especially wildlife, law. He previously served in the federal government as Deputy Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior and as chief counsel of the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee’s Subcommittee on Public Lands and Resources.

Rebekka Froitzheim is twenty two years old and has been the farm manager since September 2005.  She grew up on a farm in Maryland, where she started riding as a three year old.  She got a horse of her own at ten and started breaking and training at home.  She showed Western speed classes on the MD/PA circuit through her teens and twenties and today likes to Pleasure trail.

Fred Weber has been training and competing Some Day Soon Farm’s stallions and preparing mares for the Mare Performance Tests since Wertherson’s arrival in November 1989. Fred is Dutch by birth and immigrated to New Hampshire in l987. He holds a German Bereiter license and has had an extremely successful dressage training barn at Woodvale Farm since 1989. With Fred as training leader, Woodvale Farm hosted the American Hanoverian Stallion Licensing from 1995-97. It is because of Fred’s dedication and tireless efforts that the stallions at Some Day Soon Farm continue to do so well.
