Activities & Shift

*** IF YOU ARE A NIGHT OWL OR CANT BE IN ROUTINE TO GET UP AT 6AM THEN PLEASE DO NOT APPLY. We need people who can get OUT of bed at 6am and be functional at barn by 0630. NOT jumping out of bed at 6:25 and rushing to the barn. This creates a safety issue around horses. Sat/Sun up 7am, barn 730. Evening feed is at 430 or 530pm- summer 6--usually takes one hour.

Plenty of down time to rest, relax, between morning and evening feed at 6pm. Sometimes work on projects(Spring-Fall) that require your help. We give one full day off and most other days you are working part of the day and rest off. We schedule trips to go see museums & lunch, movies (our expense) the city and sightsee depending on our schedule at your expense. We are like a family here.

Expected to have initiative and want to work, not laze around

Bikes to ride in good weather. Swing/Hammock to chill in
