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

Horse back riding along a beautiful beach, it doesn't get any better than that. It is something that my husband Dave and I have always wanted to do. It was wonderfull. The guides were very good and made you feel comfortable and safe. I was on Mango and Dave had Ike and they were both great! Our favorite part was... More

The guides were excellent, they made the ride very entertaining. They take you to a somewhat secluded beach where you can take the horses into the water. More

“AWESOME - one of the best rides ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Blake and Kristen were our guides and were awesome. My husband and I are experienced riders (I could ride for days and not get bored) Blake did an excellent job matching us to our horses...even our personalities. I rode Levi and loved him. Riding on the beach and in the ocean was great. A must do! Worth every penny. More

What could be better than riding on the most beautiful beach and in the clearest turquoise water! My sister and I loved our adventure with Provo Ponies - my sister has riden for years and we all laughed when her horse decided to try laying down in the water....they love the water and we had a blast. Our guides were... More

This was a great day! The folks are very warm and welcoming. They matched the horses to the riders skill levels perfectly. Short lesson and we were off. My daughter is 8 and had never riden a horse alone. Yet they put her on Sunshine and she made the 90 minute ride unassisted! She rode in the ocean up to... More

“Scary at times but beautiful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

Although I had a few panic attacks (due to horse freak-outs), I was glad that I went on this ride. Your horses actually swim in the ocean with you on top! If you bring a camera know that it could get wet...be careful. Some of the coolest photo ops around. More
