General Info:
Brandy McDonnell first began Blue Point Stables in 2000 by training & showing horses for Clients under the name McDonnell Performance Horses. Later, the name was changed to Blue Point Stables in an effort to reflect that additional service were also available. Brandy then began instructing individuals with riding & showing lessons in both English & Western Pleasure disciplines. When Client's desires for other disciplines surfaced, Brandy was quick to accommodate those requests. B.P.S. riding programs are based on safety, fun and positive reinforcement. B.P.S. teaches riders on well-trained, quiet horses. Over the years, B.P.S. has taught countless individuals how to ride and communicate with horses through the use of our A.I.D. & Praise Program. B.P.S. is home to a full sized covered riding arena that many of the boarders and riders enjoy year round. As Blue Point Stables progressed, other equine services such as Stall & Pasture boarding were added. B.P.S. also provides overnight layover stalls, for traveler's horses. Along the way, B.P.S. began hosting local and increasingly popular Horse Shows, (usually four times a year) always offering a full day of fun for all. Various events, including events for the youngest riders are offered at each show. Blue Point Stables Summer Horse Day & Night Camps for young riders began in 2010 & really took off in 2011 & 2012. Birthday & Group Event Parties held at B.P.S. are rapidly gaining in popularity.
