首先我想说我并不是一个马友,不是特别擅长骑马或是其他和马同行的骑行活动。我太太非常想来,所以我就很高兴和我太太一起共同参与体验了这个活动。这的小马是由几个来自美国的小女孩儿共同管理打理的。我对整个骑马过程感到非常满意快乐。所有的马都非常乖顺温顺,十分友善。我们共同骑了大概有一个小时。整个骑行过程中这些女孩儿都会全程陪伴在你身边,让你感觉非常安全。整个骑行过程中最大的亮点就是你能看见那个晶莹剔透清澈透亮的海滩。这种体验感受真的是我前所未有的美妙。这的马儿也真是绝对的听话温顺。非常乖巧。我和之前一位赛马者一起交流,同样学习了解到了许多以前所不知道的东西。这的女孩儿在知道教练和培训管理马儿方面都非常出色。千万不要错过。

我差点就错过这趟旅行了,幸好没有!绝对是我这次土耳其之行里的一大亮点。多花十美元就有人来酒店接你,而且很准时哦!一到马棚我就看出这个旅行社组织能力很强。他们的所有马匹都健康,精神好。那里还养了一些狗和散养的鸡。如果你不想把自己鞋子弄湿,他们会免费借你鞋子。还会给你发小袋子,用来装相机。导游人很好,知识渊博,对客人很真诚,对马匹很爱惜。到大海的时候,他们会帮大家照到满意的相片。全程一点都不匆忙,人人都能尽情享受。我跟Diamond一起(马名),它在海里玩得可欢了——光是看着就很开心。谢谢Provo Ponies!

我们一行人都很喜欢此次旅途,海水非常清澈,海滩上还有很多马儿,我骑着一匹叫做Romeo的马在海滩上奔驰,而且它会弓背跃起,让你感觉到它也很开心。员工都是一群女孩儿,特别友好,一会儿就打成一片了。他们是摄影的专家,能够用你的相机给你拍出超美的相片,不过千万别拿着iPad麻烦人家哦,那就太大材小用了。我同样建议你不要通过这些马儿来提高你的骑马技术。

我的女朋友一直想要去骑马,大家能想到结果……我们就去骑马了。我们玩得非常尽兴!之前我们从来没有骑过马,那里的员工很专业很耐心。上午我们骑了两个小时……我骑得马叫艾克,我女友骑得马叫梦想者。艾克很棒,很高大,很好骑,因为我有200磅重……他很强壮,知道在干什么也知道要去哪……十分安全可靠。我觉得我都能放开缰绳,他自己就能走回去。我们把马骑到了水里,马儿们很喜欢。那里有很多马,任何年龄的都有适合的马匹。我建议穿长裤,尽早预约……这里很受欢迎。好马……不会走错路!

My husband is the horse person in our family, and has always wanted to ride on the beach. We finally got to make that dream a reality on this vacation-- not many places in the world where that is an option! Most of the people on our tour were very tenured riders, which made the novice in me anxious. However, the staff was absolutely wonderful and accommodating to the different levels and interests. They never let you out of sight, which was a comfort to those who like to make sure all is going well (I've been on other rides where they have kind of left me and I didn't know what I was doing). At the same time, for those who wanted it, the rife was a lot less regimented than many trail rides. You didn't have to stay single file most of the time, and they let riders trot throughout, as well as cantor on the beach. Of course the ride into the ocean was the highlight. Even on an hour long ride we got to stay in the water for about 30 minutes. Be prepared to get wet and enjoy your ride!

Our 13 and 17 year old girls loved their 90 + min adventure!! They match you to the best horse for your experience and comfort level! Very clean and well cared for animals! You literally go in the ocean on the horses!! Up past their bellies!! You will get wet!! Our girls thought this was awesome!! They weren't restricted to follow the leader... And were allowed to have a very individual ride, it was up to the rider to control the horse, if they wanted! If they just wanted to ride and follow, that was fine too! Book early!! Keep trying if you don't hear back... They are very busy and don't have a designated receptionist!

My wife talked me into doing this excursion since she used to ride horses as a child. It was a tough decision for me since I didn't want to lose beach time. However, I am extremely glad that we decided to go. The ride along the beach was spectacular. There is a natural beauty to the Turks and Caicos and if you haven't seen the water, you will be amazed. The colors of the water are spectacular. You will take a short ride down some quiet streets and a trail to Long Bay beach. Once there, you will go right into the water with your horse. A new experience for me and one I won't forget. The horses are well maintained and respond as well as can be expected. I'm not an experienced horse rider so the horse probably knew it. I was the lucky recipient of "Turtle". I assumed he would be some old, fat horse but my jaw dropped as a 2000 pound horse was given to me. This isn't a misprint, yes, he is the largest land animal in the country but was a good boy for me. Lastly, I must comment on the staff. Everyone at Provo Ponies were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. If you have the time, definitely try them out. It is very worthwhile.

The Good:They take great care of their horses. This was the first trail ride I've been on where they have weight restrictions.This was also the first time I've been in the water on a horse, and it was great!The guides were good about taking photos of our group and we each ended up with several pictures from when we were in the water.The Bad:My horse was more stubborn than I had expected, and it was the first time I'd really run into this on a trail ride. I didn't have any trouble stopping her from eating leaves along the way, but had difficulty getting her to change from the nose-to-tail pattern or to pick up the pace to a trot.I was also surprised that there were two incidents where some of the horses shied (once before we'd left and a different horse near the end of the ride.) I know horses are skittish by nature, but I've found trail rides are usually pretty non-eventful.The Ugly:We all know horses poop. No one should be surprised when this occurs on a trail ride. However, prior to this, I had never asked myself the question: does horse poop float in salt water? It turns out it does. It's not a huge deal, and seems to break down pretty fast, but since you aren't nose-to-tail in the water, and have to maintain a 6-8 foot distance from other horses, it may be unavoidable. If this is the type of thing that would make riding in the water a deal-breaker for you, this isn't the ride for you.Advice:Bring a camera (you can wear it in a fanny pack they'll give you and then take pictures for you).Wear a helmet (they have tons of them).

Check another item off our bucket list! Have always wanted to ride along side and in the ocean and this accomplished both! Staff was very friendly and made us feel very comfortable with the horses. Would love to do this one again!!

Provo Ponies was on the top of my to-do list & it definitely did not disappoint! We made a reservation a few weeks prior to arriving on the island; the booking process was seamless, & when I asked to add a roundtrip taxi last-minute, they did a great job of accommodating. Being “tour snobs,” we prefer private tours while vacationing, however we opted for the group tour & couldn’t have been more pleased.When we arrived at the stables, the staff spent a great deal of time going over safety, understanding everyone’s riding levels, & matching everyone to an appropriate horse. Being beginners with little riding experience, I was paired with Patches while my boyfriend was paired with Levi; both were very well-behaved. The dirt road we rode down to get to the beach was pretty un-scenic, but it gave us a chance to get comfortable with our horses. Once we reached the beach, the horses began getting in the water, gradually getting deeper & deeper; it was such a fun experience! & Not to mention, one of the guides took our camera & captured some great shots of us in the water!From the knowledgeable staff, to the friendly horses, to the gorgeous beach, we loved everything about the tour & would highly recommend Provo Ponies!Side note: A majority of the people in our group were beginners & from what I could see, all the horses were very well-behaved, so I have to disagree with the review below – A first-time rider would be fine on these horses, I would just make sure the staff knows so they can match accordingly.

I have been on quite a few trail rides and this one was very fun! Going into the water with the horse was a first for me and was a really fun experience! The only negative thing I have to say is the horses are not quite as well behaved as the other trail rides I have been on previously. I would recommend this for maybe people who have been on trail rides a couple times or have a bit of experience with horses rather then someone who has never been on one before.They are more of a handful. Overall very fun and the guides are great for helping you too! Beautiful ride and I would recommend to people with some horseback riding experience!

A group of 11 took the plunge and had a ball despite the lack of cooperation from the weather. The guides were great to work with and were obviously excellent with both people and horses !! Riding on Long Beach and in the water is a must for everyone regardless of level of experience. All of us agreed that it was well worth the $$ and alot of fun.

This is a fun experience. We happened to do it on a slightly cold day which made the horses a bit more skittish, but the guides kept everything together. If you are looking for a unique experience like horseback riding on the beach, you can trust Provo Ponies to deliver. They were extremely good with children, too, which is a big plus.Tip: The one hour ride is probably plenty for most beginners. The 90 minute seems tempting, but I am not sure you necessarily get more enjoyment out of more time. 60 minutes on a horse is still a long time for a beginner and seemed perfect.

It's our second year going back riding with the kids 9 and 7 years old when we come to Turks and Caicos. It's wonderful riding along the beach and riding in the water. For the more experience riders, you get a chance to canter at the beach which my husband and my oldest daughter did. My 7 years old daughter didn't have much experience but she wanted to trot, which they let her do it on the beach and again in our way back on the dirt road. The instructors are very friendly and did a great job.They have 60 or 90 minutes ride. We like the 90 minutes ride in the afternoon.

We did a private 2 person ride with Provo Ponies in January 2015. We were able to talk to people who did a normal group ride and they seemed to love their experience just as much as we did. Our guide was very friendly, professional and helpful. The horses are well trained and the staff took time matching us with horses based on our skill level. I have very little riding experience and was matched with a gentle giant named Thor. He was perfect! We were able to go deeper into the ocean than the people on the group tour (they still went completely into the ocean, though!), which was well worth the extra cost. We were able to go at our own speed, which was also a bonus! The horses seemed to enjoy being in the water just as much as we did! They made loud happy noises as we rode around in the calm, clear water. Our guide took a video with our iPhone and tons of pictures of our ride! The private ride is definitely worth the cost! Definitely recommend this excursion, even for people with little to no riding experience! You won't regret it!
