NOW HIRING FOR 2025 SUMMER SEASON!

Join a hard-working crew with a great sense of humor and have fun riding (but not nose to tail!) and making good money this summer!
The Rusty Spurr Ranch is looking to add ONE wrangler to our crew for the 2025 summer season.
To apply, read the entire post and submit the requirements (end of post) to the email address [email protected]
Please do not apply via Facebook Messenger
You can also view more info here https://www.rustyspurr.com/employment/
All applicants must be legal and emotional adults, eligible for employment in the US and have strong horsemanship and customer service skills. This is not the position to get you started in the industry.
We offer guided cattle drives (typically run a mix of 150-200 yearling steers and bulls) and our trail rides are not nose to tail, so this job is much more engaging than the "typical trail guide" job!
Wranglers have many opportunities to employ and improve their horsemanship as they help finish horses for our program.
Our wranglers typically find this to be one of the highest paying riding jobs they've ever had.
Check us out on TripAdvisor, FB and Google to see what people think of our operation. The fact that we let our guests "Get outta line" really makes it a much more enjoyable and engaging experience for both staff and guests!
Our off-the-grid ranch is located about 3 miles South of Kremmling, Colorado. We ride in an environment that ranges from wide open, high country sage to rugged mountain terrain covered in pine and aspen forests. We run cattle drives and non-nose-to-tail trail rides 5-6 days per week on about 10,000 acres of combined public and private ground.
We do not host any overnight guests, so you will always have your evenings (after 5 or 6) to yourself and we do provide free, private (NOT SHARED) housing for our wranglers.
We cannot accommodate pets or family housing.
The job starts in early to mid-May and will finish in mid-late August, with the possibility of extending to the end of September if desired/needed. We can be a bit flexible on dates for the right applicant.
All wranglers are expected to help with any and all chores around the ranch such as feeding, tack repair, fence work, trail work or anything else related to the ranch and its operations.
We are seeking well-spoken, self-motivated, fun, team players with a strong background both with horses and people (cow experience is a bonus but not a necessity) and a strong work ethic. We have no room for idlers or wallflowers.
Compensation:
Pay is DOE. Comprised of hourly wage (overtime paid over 40 hours) plus tips. Conservative range from $150-$300/day. 5 days/week and approximately 10 hours per day.
Wranglers may bring 1 horse, but it must be usable (no projects!) to guide rides (safe and sound). If these criteria are met, the ranch will cover shoes and board. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate pets.
As mentioned previously, free (above and beyond pay) housing is offered but not required if you prefer to live off premises.
All wranglers who fulfill their commitment for the season will receive an end of season gift with our brand along with a paycheck bonus.
Application requirements (submitted to [email protected]):
1. A cover letter telling us a little about yourself, why this position appeals to you and what you think qualifies you for the position (tell us what you've done).
2. A complete resume or work history (show us what you've done).
3. A recent picture or two of yourself.
4. Dates available to work.
5. Dates and times available for a phone interview.

Horses on vacation…makes my heart happy! The herd is running free on 2,000 acres since our season ended. Today was a pool party 🤣 #happyhorses #poolparty #wildandfree #fallfun #rustyspurrranch #kremmling #grandcountycolorado #summitcounty #granbycolorado #grandlakecolorado #winterpark #brecklife #vail #breckenridge

We’ve been taking guests on aspen mountain rides for over 20 years. I’m not lying when I say these golden colors still make my heart skip a beat! You only have 5 days left to experience this before our season ends on 9/29. Book at www.rustyspurr.com #rustyspurrranch #thebestofcolorado #aspen #getoutside #falltrailrides #goldenleaves #kremmling #grandcountycolorado #grandlakecolorado #granbycolorado #winterpark #breckenridge #brecklife #summitcounty #silverthorne #dilloncolorado #vail #steamboatsprings

Spring is coming! The horses have started to groom each other as their shaggy winter coats begin to shed. Come visit our happy herd this summer and book your horseback adventure at www.rustyspurr.com #rustyspurrranch #happyhorses #readyforspring #colorado #grandcountycolorado #kremmlingcolorado #winterpark #gograndlake #steamboatresort #brecklife #summitcounty

Even with all this snow around still, the horses think it should be spring! April in Colorado❤️

Feeding time = Happy Horses! What is it about watching horses gallop that captivates us? I always grab the camera to capture poetry in motion!

Only 2 weeks left in the season to get your cattle drive fix! Come live your own “Yellowstone moment” at the Rusty Spurr Ranch. (Hint- it’s better than the movie!)

Leaving the ranch and seeing all these happy horses just feels good! We make sure they get turned out by 5pm every day so they can eat, rest and socialize with the herd.

Horse “Happy Hour” starts at 5 o’clock when we turn them out to pasture every afternoon. Horses should graze and socialize to maintain their mental and physical well-being after the workday. #rustyspurrranch #happyhour #healthyhorses #coloradoactivities #summerinthemountains #horsebackriding

When the horses get a “wild hair”: had to share our evening herd check. They were crazy silly tonight racing and bucking (and farting!) through the snow! Gotta love watching their pure exuberance! #rustyspurrranch #allthewildhorses #nowinterblues #happyherd #runningforfun #stillsnowing

Spectacular day checking our horses at their winter pasture! They love the freedom to roam hundreds of acres and live in a herd environment. #rustyspurrranch #livingthebesthorselife #snowponies #coloradomountains #winterishere

Free-Range horses having fun!

Happy Monday from the Rusty Spurr Ranch horses! They are enjoying winter vacation and kicking up their heels with this cool weather!

If you’ve never seen horseplay, it’s pretty entertaining! Earl and Reno Palomino were feeling good yesterday afternoon! #rustyspurrranch #happyhorses #neverbored #gameon #facetimefun
