Legacy Sport Horses is a small, high-standard dressage training and sales barn. We’re hiring a Barn Manager & Facility Operations Lead who loves systems, takes ownership, and shows up—every day—because the horses depend on it.
This is a hands-on role and a key part of our crew. After training, you’ll mostly work independently using clear checklists and established procedures. Input is always welcome, but success in this role means executing our program the Legacy way—consistently and reliably.

Coordinate and support appointments (farrier/vet visits, deliveries, contractors)
Order and restock supplies (feed/bedding/barn essentials) and keep inventory organized
Basic facility maintenance + problem solving (repairs, troubleshooting, keeping things running)
Drive truck and trailer as needed (experience required)
Lift/carry typical barn items (feed bags, equipment) and work comfortably in all weather
You are:
Exceptionally dependable and punctual
Detail-oriented, procedure-driven, and proud of doing things right
Calm, observant, and proactive about horse wellbeing and facility safety
Handy, capable, and not afraid to jump in and get it done
Schedule: Primarily mornings; weekend morning and evening availability required. Housing: On-site housing may be available (not pet-friendly). Property: Completely smoke-free.
