We're looking for a dependable stablehand to join our laid-back veterinarian owned training barn. Our barn has 16 stalls, and space for about 5 field boarders, but we are currently only at 12 horses! I'd like to hire someone who can do training while we're still a little quiet and then possibly pick up more work as we get busier if it's the right fit. We pride ourselves on providing excellent individualized care for both our horses and our humans.
Daily responsibilities include:
Feeding hay and grain Blanketing horses Grooming, mane and tail care Sweeping and general barn tidying Turning horses in and out Holding horses for procedures (vet, chiro, farrier) Administering oral and eye medications Assisting with other basic veterinary care
We're committed to taking care of our employees just as much as our horses. We believe in treating people fairly and creating a workplace where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. Benefits include:
Paid holidays and vacation time for full-time employees Overtime pay at 1.5× for overtime hours Scheduled raises every six months A strong focus on maintaining a safe, and comfortable work environment
We're looking for someone who is hardworking, reliable, and gets along with horses and people. Interest or experience with animal behavior science is a plus! Horse experience is required, but positive attitude and demonstrated work ethic will be probably more important! Separately if you have interest/ability in social media we may have work-from-home hours that could get this to a full time position.
