We do two guided rides a day, morning ride at 9:30am and an afternoon ride at 3:30pm during winter hours, 4:30 during the summer. We can take all experience levels from 6 years old and up (if they are younger they must be experienced riders). There is an extra charge if someone must be led. Everyone rides their own horse or pony, no double riding. We have a 200 pound weight limit. Groups are never more than 12 riders. Private rides are available for an additional fee. Helmets are available and are required for children 17 and under. We ride along quiet dirt roads and trails to Long Bay Beach, a 4 mile long secluded beach. We do not do nose to tail type rides, and more experienced riders are given the chance to trot or canter along the beach depending on the tides. The shallow waters of the Caicos Banks off Long Bay make it an ideal place to take your horse into the ocean. You can book a one hour ride or a 90 minute ride. We can arrange for transportation to and from your hotel. Reservations are required. A Visa or Mastercard number is required for all reservations, as well as weights and experience levels of all riders in your group so that we can properly assign horses to riders. We are a fully insured and licensed business in the Turks and Caicos Islands. « less

A slow paced 60 minute ride which included about a half hour up to the horses belly in the water. Although it was your choice to be in the water or on the beach. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and personable, took pictures using the cameras of each rider, and shared their favourite places on the island which would enhance... More

My husband and I had so much fun riding our horses in the ocean! I was given Turtle to ride. He is a huge Belgian draft horse. The staff is very friendly and you really felt safe while riding. The horses all seemed to like being in the water. This is an activity for people from a beginner to experienced... More

My granddaughter and I rode with a guide along the trails and into the surf! It was our third experience with Provo Ponies. They do a wonderful job matching your riding abilities with the correct horse which makes everyone's day go extremely well!! We will do this again!!!

Amazing staff, very thorough explinations. Staff made sure we were okay the entire time, and took tons of pictures of us in the ocean. Really enjoyed the ocean aspect of the ride. However we did the 90 minute ride, and my only advice would be if you are a beginner like us, you may want to stick with the 60... More

We did thge 90 min riding trip with Provo ponies on the 24th May. Like everyone else said this is a ride of a lifetime. Our horses were very gentle and the guides were outstanding. They took their time to get everyone used to the horses and understand the simple instructions. They also took the photos of our ride. We... More

What a FUN experience! We arrived at the stables by 9:30a where we were greeted by the staff - welcoming AND knowledgeable. Also, totally cool/laid back, YET safety and horse riding experience were big factors in how our horses were chosen and you can feel that the staff (Camille, Kristin, Caroline, Tina and Kelly) take their job(s) seriously, putting us(the...
