Smashin Blues Performance Horses

Smashin Blues Performance Horses Hi � My name is Heather Faulkner and after a life long dream of becoming a horse trainer and riding instructor I finally am making this dream come to life.

I specialize in all around performance horses and will have a few select APHA horses for sale.

Phewwwwww “NEPHC Almost Fall Show”
Smashin Blues sure did wrap up the NEPHC Show season simply killin it!

Proud is an understatement. Watching my team grow and thrive all summer just really makes all the sleepless nights and hard work seem worth it in all the ways! Every single one of these teams really put in the work and it truly showed at every single show over the season.

Huge congratulations to:

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!!!!
