Tallwoods Farm in Canton, CT is seeking full-time help running a small yet active Eventing boarding facility with trainer Jennie Goebel Tucker, 5* event rider and ICP Level 3 instructor. Tallwoods Farm is home to 16 +/- horses and their riders, including actively competing upper and lower level event horses, fun riding horses, and a handful of “retirees” who still enjoy some work. Tallwoods has a laid back atmosphere while maintaining an active competition schedule. The job will entail 5-6 days a week of comprehensive equine care and management, including barn chores, horse care, routine scheduling, and overseeing workers.
