Provo Ponies is a small horseback riding stable located on the southeast end of the island of Providenciales. We have two guided horseback rides Monday through Friday. Saturdays are reserved for teaching and Sundays are the horses day off. The morning ride is at 9:30am and the 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 horseback rides are available for an additional fee. Helmets are available and are required for children 17 and under.

We ride our horses and ponies along quiet dirt roads and trails to Long Bay Beach, a 4 mile long secluded beach. We don't do nose to tail type rides. 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 for $75 per person or a 90 minute ride for $90 per person. We can arrange transportation to and from your hotel. We recommend wearing long pants and full shoes (sports bras for the ladies and briefs for the men may make your ride more comfortable too!!) If you want to bring a camera we provide fanny packs and will take pictures for you once we arrive at the beach.

Reservations are required. A Visa or Mastercard number is necessary 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. Please read our table below to see how to evaluate your riding ability. Our cancellation policy is we'll charge 50% if you cancel the day before, and 100% if you cancel the day of the ride. This does not apply if you have a medical emergency or if the ride is cancelled due to bad weather.
