High end boarding stable is looking to hire a Barn Manager to assist in organizing and providing full care to stable of 30 horses. There is a farm manager and a stable hand also on staff. This is a full care facility with high standards and customized care for each of the horses. We are a warm and friendly barn with a family atmosphere and very pleasant group of horse owners. Drama free and very few complaints due to the quality of care. This is a full time position with nights, weekends, and holidays required. The team of barn manager and stable hand provide coverage for each other for days off, both planned and unplanned. Weekly time demands will be 35-45 hours depending on season. Candidates must be reliable, have their own transportation, have a strong background in horse handling and care, communicate well with boarders and management, work with little supervision, have exceptional attention to detail, and above all - love horses and enjoying making each horse feel their best both physically and mentally!
Duties include: * limited supervisory duties over stable hand * customer service with boarders * graining * turnout * hay and hay stacking * sweeping * stall cleaning * water bucket and trough cleaning * some gardening/landscaping * handling horses for vet and farrier * blanketing * groundskeeping (dragging arena, w**d eating, bush hogging, spreading manure, etc.) * nursing care * handling mares/foals * barn cleaning and upkeep including minor repairs. Some additional work is available from the boarders on a contract basis (clipping, grooming, etc.), but those skills are not required.
Pay includes a weekly salary commensurate with experience, paid time off (after first year), flex time (to some extent), apparel and other misc benefits.
This is a great place to work with a very caring group of people and lovely herd of horses.
