Ranch Manager/Assistant Trainer

We are looking for a person to join our team who is interested in training, riding, and showing (1) own sons, daughters and grand daughters of some “living legends” such as Colonel Freckles, Mr. Melody Jac, Gallo Del Cielo, Wimpys Little Step, and Von Reminiic, (2) own sons and daughters of stallions that have won the NRHA Futurity, the NRHA Derby, or the NRBC such as Yellow Jersey ,Frozen Enterprize., and Shine Chic Shine.

Most of the horses being used in our program have been born here as have their mothers and grandmothers. In addition to training and showing western performance horses, we are also looking for a person that (1) enjoys being involved with young adults with and without learning disabilities, (2) believes that both horses and people like to be in control of their environment and is (3) willing to learn to use barefoot trimming techniques,

Our equine jobs for youth program was developed to help youths primarily in the 18 to 23 year old age range find employment. The program includes both young adults with learning disabilities and young adults without learning disabilities

Because of the strategies used to train our horses, all of the horses can be used in our jobs for youth program. Since the purpose of the program is to prepare young adults for equine related occupations these students are taught a wide variety of horse related skills based on their interests and background experiences. Some of the skills they are taught include but are not limited to barn maintenance, farm maintenance, horse handling, and barefoot trimming.

The main focus of this position would be on learning to train horses of all age levels in such a way that (1) they can be shown in performance horse competition, and (2) they can be used in our equine jobs for youth program.

We have an assistant barn manager, who is responsible for cleaning the stalls, so part of the job would be to keep him on task.
