Lots of fun big things happening for us here at Smashin blues! Kicking off summer break filled with lessons, camp days and horse shows! We love seeing all the kids faces light up!

Stella is at the APHA world show in Fort Worth , Texas competing with her horse Johnny Tatum in the all -around youth events! Tatum is a 6 year old paint gelding that was born and raised on our farm, many don’t know but Tatum is blind in one eye making him extra special! This team is incredible and we are so happy to be cheering them on in Texas all the way home from Vermont!

Let’s cheer this team on!!!!
