Provo Ponies… Riding on the beach

What a treat to see Provo Ponies' Camille and her group out at Long Bay beach.

What a treat to see Provo Ponies' Camille and her group out at Long Bay beach.

We went out to Long Bay beach and started walking from the future site of another hotel. The kite boarders were out in full force and it was fun watching them jumping and twirling and racing across the shallow waters out there. We were fortunate to see Camille from Provo Ponies who had her group out for a leisurely ride along the beach. I caught this great photo as Camille’s horse pranced out of the water and her dog seemed to want to play along.

Cowboy is a Paso Fino……these horses were originally shipped to Provo from the Dominican Republic and when Camille rescued them, they were showing signs of abuse. Camille and friends nursed them back to health and eventually became Provo Ponies.

Enjoy a horseback ride along an amazingly beautiful stretch of beach when you are next here on Providenciales. The warm sun, the turquoise ocean, true blue skies and miles of deserted beach will make for a horseback ride to remember.

Provo Ponies on the beach

Imagine riding horses along a tropical beach on a perfect day with blue skies and the gorgeous backdrop of the turquoise waters out at Long Bay Beach. We were out for a long walk along the beach a week ago and met this group of horses and riders. Provo Ponies with Camille Slattery will take you for an idyllic ride along this quiet stretch of beach and since it is quite shallow you can take your horse out into the water.

What I find quite unique is that Provo Ponies started as a rescue operation for horses and ponies in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Many of the ponies and horses are from Grand Turk and the original ones were Paso Finos that had come to the TCI from the Dominican Republic and sadly were showing signs of abuse. These fine animals have been given a second chance and are loving their lives now and giving pleasure to so many people coming here to ride on the beaches of Provo.

If you would love to ride on the beach, contact me and I’ll put you in touch with Camille at Provo Ponies.

Happy trails!
