Since we began our business in January of 2024, we have never posted publicly for hiring staff. This has always been a family feel type of staff where we find our next family member through word of mouth or personal recommendations and although we love finding people that way, it only seems fair that with as much public support as we have received lately from everyone constantly recommending us, booking with us, and leaving some of the most loving reviews, that we open these opportunities up to those who would enjoy it the most.
That being said, we are now welcoming potential strangers that would like to join their very own farm family. We are family owned and operated, we do not have impossible criteria, but you MUST be loving towards both our fur babies, staff, & all future customers.
The main requirements are listed above in the advertisement, but we are looking for much more than the basics.
🐎 Experience is obviously preferred, but we acknowledge that dreams have to start somewhere and we don't mind being the first to show you how amazing horses are. In order to consider you without experience, we need to know you have good decision making skills, you don't hesitate in situations that need quick response, you are safety oriented, you prioritize the right things, and are easy to teach and thorough with applying your training.
🐎 Pay is important, and what most people ask about first. You have to keep in mind that these are rescue horses or privately sold projects that we have taken on. We charge the lowest prices in the area for trail rides and lessons (aside from private farms that do this casually) and we only charge enough to circulate that back through the horses supply and medical costs. Because we do not charge high, we cannot pay high. Pay is $25 per trail ride (1hr) with bigger groups requiring two trail guides. Barn chores are $25 to complete your list of chores. The time it takes for that is up to you and your efficiency. Feeding the herd is $10 per session, options are morning and night and this may not always apply when we have someone dedicated to feeding, but you may decide to add it on to your shift. You keep 100% of your tips. You are paid at the end of each day via CashApp or Venmo. We do not take taxes out, so this is considered to be a cash job that doesn't take anything extra away from you.
🐎 Scheduling is determined by assigned days. You are able to choose which days you would prefer to work, and once assigned a day, any trail rides that are reserved for your day are your responsibility. You must set aside your time for the possibility that there will not be rides that day, or that the day will look empty and then a ride is reserved last minute. We require a one hour minimum of time before a ride is booked. Even if you do not have rides scheduled, you must come do your assigned barn chores, and feeding is sometimes optional according to your preference but mainly depends on if it can be covered by another member. Once barn chores and feeding are complete and there are no rides, you are allowed to go home but must be "on call" and immediately available if someone would like to book a ride the day of. "I got busy, I didn't see it, I fell asleep" are not excuses and will not be tolerated. We expect you to be responsible for your day and contribute to the team load as scheduled because when you fail, someone else has to do your part and that isn't fair.
🐎: 15 volunteer hours is a must before becoming a paid guide. There is too much to consider before taking on a job like this, and it is a lot of hard work outside without A/C around big animals that can hurt you if you aren't paying attention. You may have volunteers present during your shift, but only lead guides are in charge of training them. You may always ask for help as we know learning several horses along with their requirements can feel overwhelming at first.
🐎: Applicants must be at least 18 years old. Highschoolers younger than 18 may volunteer and learn the ropes until then, but we will not have paid staff members younger than that. This can be a dangerous job if the circumstances line up perfectly and there is room for risk that needs to be considered by one's self, and not their parents who will not be present during the situation at hand. We want to see your resume, regardless how much experience you have. It shows us what you think your strengths are and allows us to hold you accountable to who you present yourself to be. Honesty gets you further because we can be more intentionally paced with your training. Providing a background check will be required, and is a simple form and request through the court house. We need to verify there is no animal abuse history or evidence that you may put someone in danger.
🐎: As of right now we are prioritizing those who can work throughout the week. Weekends are easy to find employees for, week days are where we need more coverage. We are ALWAYS accepting volunteers. We provide LOA's to military members as well.
We look forward to meeting more horse enthusiasts and can't wait to see who decided to chase their dreams on horseback with us. Thank you everyone who shares this post, comments, and refers/tags those who may be interested!
