Support Our Rescue Animals

Thank you for donating

It takes a LOT to keep Nevis Equestrian Centre running, and we rely on the generous donations from kindhearted people like you!

In addition to our many wonderful horses, we have a whole farm full of fuzzy friends and rescue animals. We care for our rescue animals like they are a part of our family and are actively involved in their rehabilitation process – both mentally and physically.

From donkeys and goats to pigs, cows, turtles, chickens, ducks, bunnies, and more, all animals can find safety and sanctuary at NEC.

Please consider supporting our mission to provide feed, medical, and veterinary care for our animals by making a generous donation.

We thank you for your donations, and for your help and support!

Reviews from Happy Riders

Had a fantastic ride through beautiful scenery, passed eighteenth century ruins, along the beach and into the water. The horses were fantastic, suitable for beginners while some were still lively enough to keep it interesting for more experienced riders. Highly recommend!

Erika is great, and the horses (and other animals) look healthy and are very calm and pleasant to deal with. We had ~1.5 h ride, got to the beach, and went into the water too. I highly recommend it if you are visiting Nevis! Plus, it's a great way to support the local business!

We were four adults and two children aged five and seven. We were able to play with the little monkey who lives at the stables while Erika and Winston prepared the horses. Then a lovely horse ride through the fields and down to the beach for sunset. We had a lovely afternoon, thank you, Erika.

This was a 5+ experience. The horses were cared for well. My friend has some mobility issues and they were terrifically kind and helpful to her as she mounted, dismounted and rode. Navon was an attentive guide leaving us to feel completely safe at all times so we could enjoy the views.

The Nevis Equestrian Team

The Nevis Equestrian Centre is a family business, owned and operated by CEO John Guilbert and daughter, Erika Guilbert-Archibald with assistance being provided, on occasion, by youngest son, Ryan Guilbert and adult grandchildren, Scott Guilbert Jr. and Kayli Walters.

John Guilbert, Owner/General Manager, raised Arabian show horses for over 20 years in Norco, California and is a Journeyman Horse Shoer (blacksmith) of 36 years. John is a retired executive of AT&T and, after 25 years with the company, relocated to Nevis with his family in 1994 (joining his brother, then General Manager of Trinity Broadcasting Network) arriving on the island with an Arabian mare, his daughter, Erika’s, thoroughbred and the island’s first commercially manufactured horse trailer.

John is a past President of the Sierra Empire Arabian Horse Association, Manager of several horse shows in California and past President, Secretary/Treasurer and Chairman of the Classification Committee of the Nevis Turf & Jockey Club.

John established the Nevis Equestrian Centre in 1996 with Erika and top jockey and race horse trainer, Nevisian, Mr. Dan Bartlette, who, regrettably, met with an untimely death in 2005. John is the past (2001-2009) Executive Director of the Nevis Historical Society and integrates his knowledge of historical sites/events and eco-tourism into the horseback riders’ experience. He is an African American citizen of Nevis and the USA married to Alison (Ali) Jordan-Guilbert, radio broadcaster/horse show announcer in the USA and founding Manager/Announcer, CHOICE Radio FM Nevis (2005-2012).

Erika began riding almost before she walked… and went on to develop her skills as an English, Western and Hunter-Jumper Competitor in horse shows throughout Southern California for 15 years before moving to Nevis. In 1998, Erika began to volunteer her services in a weekly therapeutic riding program for children with special challenges in the Nevis school system. She trained, coached and traveled with her equestrian students for their successful competition with Special Olympics in North Carolina and Ireland (a first for Nevis).
