Barnaby Creek Ponies

Barnaby Creek Ponies is a family run operation owned by Erika Carlson and my
2 children, Cody & Samantha Carlson. My mom, Sue Naccarato, my niece Alexys
Hall, and my friend Shannon Flaherty are also a major part of our ranch.
All ponies are trained by me (Erika Carlson). I concentrate mainly on youth
ponies and helping youth exhibitors get started in ponies. I train
classics, moderns amd miniatures. I love to work with children and I
currently have 7 children in training with me. I do take adult clients as
long as they don't mind lots of kids. So if you are looking for a great
trainer with a flair for fun, give us a call. If you need a great pony to
show, check out the sale page or e-mail us.
I train for driving, showmanship, halter, halter and driving obstacle. $300
per month for Shetland ponies and miniatures; $400 for welsh, hackney and
full size horses. Extra fees for hauling to shows and showing your horse.
Here are some of my kids and their ponies:

fun to have around. Her pony, BC Fredia's Black Pearl, is a great youth pony and
together they are a great team.

pony, Miss Charismatic, are quite the team. Channy is our little fireball, always
full of energy and ready to giggle.

enjoyed her. She doesn't have a pony of her own yet but she'll show anything we
let her.

This is Nicole's first year also, and she has been having a great
year. She has shown 3 different ponies and shows a lot of talent. Her cheerful
attitude makes taking her places a real joy. | "Lil" Britches Miss Charlie |
