You will be a “jack-of-all-trades”. You will be required to attend the orientation conducted by the owners, and will follow all guidelines in the Employee Manual. Setup includes: Electric fence corrals, tack trailer, round pen, gas-powered water pump. We do have a dress code, and it is important that each person maintains their own personal physical and mental condition by taking advantage of down-time to rest, relax and recharge.

Compensation: Room, board, salary to be negotiated and one full day off between trips to go to town and do laundry, etc. Lodging provided will be a small travel trailer (not self-contained).

Resume covering the past 5 years of your employment and/or education, job references from previous employers or your direct supervisors. Two recent photos of yourself (head shot and full length in appropriate attire) Complete contact information, to include email address, mailing address, cell phone number. A short video (up to two minutes) of you riding at a walk/trot/canter/lope (which is a fast canter but not an all-out gallop). If you provide us with the complete Application Packet as requested, we will then assess it, and determine if you will be considered for an interview by Skype and/or telephone.

If we decide to offer you the position, we will have a background check done, so you will be required to provide copies of your social security card and driver’s license at that time. FULL DISCLOSURE: Our field season is conducted from a remote tent camp that is 45 miles from the nearest town by vehicle. We do not have internet or cell phone service in camp, and though there are spots where service is available out there, we expect staff to be able to be out of touch with the “outside world” for the duration of each ride week. Our guests come here to get away from civilization and it is not only disruptive to the flow and feel we are trying to create for them, but it distracts the staff from the job at hand, which is taking care of the guests and horses, and being part of the “wilderness” experience with everyone. If you don’t think you can turn your cell phone off for a week, then this isn’t the place or the job for you. The owners, for business and safety purposes, do check voicemail and email during the ride week, so if someone needs to reach you in an emergency, they will be able to by contacting us. Also, we do not accommodate personal horses or dogs. We have two “camp dogs” of our own and you will be able to make friends with them.Please visit our website to see what the company is all about. We live by several mottos, two of which certainly apply to this position: “Plans often don’t work out, but planning does” and “Go with the flow”; we try to plan and prepare as best we can for everything before the first guest of the season arrives, so that we can focus all the necessary attention to conducting each ride week as safely, professionally, and enjoyably as possible, for all of us.
