Provo Ponies
Providenciales | $$$$ | Website
Provo Ponies is a small horseback riding outfit located on the southeast end of Providenciales. There are two guided horseback rides daily, a morning ride and an afternoon ride- time varies with the seasons. The majority of the ponies are local rescues and indigenous of these islands (most likely brought over by the Spanish settlers long ago). For over 10 years owner and horse rescuer, Camille Slattery, has created a million once and a lifetime experiences for guests while giving these animals a second chance at life.
All experience levels from 6 years and up can enjoy the quiet dirt roads and trails that lead to Long Bay Beach. A 4 mile secluded beach- you can let a guide take you for a canter (experience needed) or simply stroll along the shore. The shallow waters of the Caicos Bank off Long Bay make it an ideal place to take your horse into the ocean. Recently featured on the Travel Channel’s show “Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches” Provo Ponies is second to none in Providenciales!

A Dream Experience
I recently went on an 80 minute horseback riding adventure with Provo Ponies in Long Bay. My beginner husband humored me and accompanied me for the morning ride. It was always my dream to canter down the beach with the wind in my hair. I hoped this experience would deliver, but I was very apprehensive, being an experienced rider and having done “nose-to-tail” rides in other locations before.
Lucky for me, the dream became a reality. The location, experience of the guides, amazing horses, and unparalleled environment made it truly a dream- cheesy but true. And my husband felt super comfortable on his horse. It’s a great activity for all experience levels! I would recommend that total beginners do the 60 minute ride instead of the 80 as those 20 minutes can make a big difference on your tush! I was very disappointed our hotel didn’t tell us to bring spare cash though (in fact they advised against it). There were great T-shirts, hats, and cold water for sale.
