Equestrian Employer Details
We are a small equestrian facility and nonprofit horse rescue located on our 20-acre private homestead. Currently, 15 horses call this home. We work to continue training all horses and keep them moving and in shape, and give them jobs they love, knowing that the healthy horse stands a better chance of a safe future. Many of our equines provide lessons for beginners to advanced intermediates. Most of our chores get done with the help of amazing volunteers but we are in need of an experiences horse person to take on barn management, volunteer management, lesson programs, equine-assisted learning programs, fundraising, event planning and property maintenance.
