We are a small horse facility looking for a part-time worker who will care for horses and take on other related responsibilities. This includes making feed for the horses, turning them out, bringing them back in, keeping the barn clean and tidy and attending to small maintenance work. We have around 10 horses, give or take, during the year.
Horse responsibilities in addition to the above include regular grooming of each horse, helping manage feed storage and working with the shoer and other workers in the barn. This is a part time job for 3 days a week and you may be required to clean stalls 1-2 of those days.
Repair and maintenance typically involve electric fences, gates, stall waterers, latches, paddocks, as well as some pasture maintenance. There will be other work and some major projects that will arise from time to time.
We are looking for someone who has good horsemanship skills already. You have to be fond of horses, knowledgeable about their behavior and about handling them and be diligent with your duties on all workdays. You must have handyman skills and be physically fit enough to work with the horses, handle typical 2 or 3 tie bales, lift feed bags and move or lift heavy objects around.
You will be asked to provide references.
