Professional body clipper needed in Eastern MA.
Equine Detailing is looking to add another part time clipper to our team. The perfect candidate will have exceptional horse handling skills and be able to turn out top level horses so that they are immediately show ring ready. Providing high quality service includes making sure that the health, happiness and safety of the horses is the top concern.
You would be an independent contractor so will be responsible for all of your own equipment, will specify your own work days and are responsible for your own taxes. A 1099 will be issued at the end of each year.
Must be reliable.
Must have reliable transportation and be on time all the time.
Must know what to do when a horse stands on its hind legs and leaves the grooming stall…as well as any other bizarre and dangerous scenario that may be thrown at you without warning.
Must be able to communicate well with clients.
Must be exceptional at full body clips, all kinds of trace/blanket/Irish/Bib clips, saddle patches, always perfect mane lines and any weird thing a client makes up on their own.
Must be proficient at sweet talking horses so that they always have a positive experience.
Must love body clipping.
Must be willing to travel.
Must be professional…must be exceptional.
Pays well and the business continues to grow so opportunities for more work may be available.
Job is hard on the body, dirty, dangerous, hot, cold and often thankless (I and the horses will always thank you though;)
If you can body clip a horse in an hour, you do not do a thorough enough job for me. If it takes you 4 hours, keep practicing!
Pay is excellent, hours are easy and you get to meet loads of interesting people and horses.
A super fun and lucrative job for the right person!
