NO HOUSING RJR
Ranch is looking for a full-time Barn Care Specialist to take ownership of the cleanliness, organization and day-to-day care of our horse barns.
PLEASE NOTE
THIS
POSITION DOES NOT INCLUDE HOUSING, RV SPACE OR LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS.
We are ideally looking for someone who already lives in the New Plymouth/Western Treasure Valley area or has their own housing and reliable transportation. This is NOT a riding, training or cowboy position. This is a hands-on barn care position for someone who takes a lot of pride in keeping things exceptionally clean, neat and organized. We currently have one barn with 8 indoor/outdoor stalls plus 6 outdoor stalls and are adding a second 6-8 stall barn.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Muck and maintain stalls in both barns Add and maintain shavings as needed Clean outdoor stalls and pens Clean manure from horse and roping areas Empty manure wagons Vacuum, sweep and blow out barn pavers, aisles and common areas Wipe down stall fronts, dividers and metal Clean and scrub automatic waterers Clean feed mangers and feeding areas Keep hay and feed areas clean and organized Pressure wash barn floors and other areas as needed Empty trash and keep garbage areas clean Clean and organize the bathroom, office, tack rooms, feed rooms, storage rooms and other barn areas Clean, oil and condition saddles and other tack Keep tools, supplies and equipment clean and organized Catch, halter and safely move horses Feed and water horses as needed Catch horses and put them on the walker as needed Wash horses and comb/maintain manes and tails Pay attention to the horses and recognize when one may be sick, injured or simply isn't acting normally
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
Above everything else, we need someone who is
SELF-MOTIVATED.
We aren't looking for someone who finishes a checklist and then waits to be told what to do next. We want someone who walks through the barn, notices what needs attention and takes care of it. If a stall front is dirty — clean it. If a waterer needs scrubbing — scrub it. If tack is out of place — organize it. If a manure wagon is full — empty it. If something doesn't look right with a horse — notice it. You need to be observant, dependable and obsessed with keeping things clean and neat. We want someone who takes personal pride in how the barns look every day. Horse experience preferred. You don't need to be a trainer, but you do need to be comfortable safely catching, haltering and handling horses.
SCHEDULE
This is a full-time position. The normal workweek will include Mondays and most Saturdays, with another day off during the week. Sundays are normally off. When we are out of town, there may occasionally be a need to help feed or care for the horses on a Sunday.
COMPENSATION
Starting salary of $38,000+ per year, depending on experience. RJR Ranch also contributes toward employee health insurance.
IMPORTANT
—
NO HOUSING
There is NO housing, apartment, RV space or other living accommodations included with this position. Applicants must provide their own housing and reliable transportation to and from the ranch. We would especially like to find someone who already lives locally and is looking for a stable, long-term position.
