What is a horse ranch with housing?

A Horse Ranch with Housing is a type of job or employment arrangement where workers, such as ranch hands, caretakers, or trainers, are provided with on-site living accommodations as part of their compensation. These positions typically involve caring for horses, maintaining ranch facilities, and performing various tasks related to animal welfare and ranch operations. Housing can range from shared bunkhouses to private apartments or homes, and is often included to attract workers to rural or remote locations. This arrangement allows employees to live close to their work and immerse themselves fully in ranch life.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a horse ranch worker with housing?

To thrive as a Horse Ranch Worker with Housing, you need hands-on experience with horse care, ranch maintenance, and basic animal husbandry, often supported by knowledge of farm safety and handling practices. Familiarity with farm equipment, feeding systems, and sometimes certifications in equine care or first aid are beneficial. Strong communication, reliability, and adaptability are key soft skills for collaborating with ranch staff and responding to animal needs. These abilities ensure the well-being of the horses, efficient ranch operations, and a safe, supportive living and working environment.

What are the typical work hours and living arrangements like for employees on a horse ranch with provided housing?

Employees working on a horse ranch with provided housing can expect early mornings and physically demanding days, often starting before sunrise to care for the horses and maintain the property. Work schedules may include weekends and holidays, given the need for daily animal care. Housing is typically shared or private accommodations on or near the ranch, fostering a close-knit team environment. Living onsite allows for quick response to emergencies and can offer a unique rural lifestyle, but it also means adapting to communal living and respecting ranch rules. This setup is ideal for those who value hands-on work and enjoy being part of a small, supportive team.

Job description

About the Facility 
Situated on ~300 acres outside of the center of Santa Fe, NM, this beautiful private ranch is complete with a 10 stall barn, outdoor riding arena, and 8 miles worth of private trails for the resident horses and their humans to enjoy! Providing a forever home for the family's 3 horses, this ranch will soon grow to include cattle grazing on the pasture land and a small armada of donkeys to protect them. Located less than 20min from the heart of Santa Fe, this property provides a unique blend of tranquil ranch living but convenient access to civilization!

Job Description 
We are looking for a compassionate, experienced equestrian to join this facility as the Trainer/Caretaker of the owner's 3 forever horses and companion donkeys. Aged in their early teens, the horses here have been trained up under Parelli principals, and do not have any competition goals or rigorous demands. This person will be responsible for exercising the horses on a daily basis in the arenas and on the trails, along with maintaining the highest standards of care alongside the rest of the 4 person team. With a typical work schedule running 7:30am-4:00pm just 4 days per week including weekends, there are generally at least 2 individuals working in the barn at all times. The ideal individual will have an easygoing personality but be accustomed to providing meticulous care for the horses at all times. This person must be well experienced in western riding principals, and have a gentle, horses-first mentality. 
There is a team of maintenance professionals who handle all facility upkeep, fence fixing, etc - and the cattle are not the responsibility of this individual beyond basic oversight in the event of an emergency. This is truly a position centered around providing the best possible care for the 3 horses on-site for the duration of their lifetimes!

- Exercise horses both in the arena and on the trails on schedule in collaboration with the Barn Manager and Owner ~1hr per ride, 2 horses per day
- Monitor for any signs of illness, injury, or various other equine ailments - and treat accordingly
*Ability to perform night check duties for additional income is possible!

Job Requirements 
- Minimum 5 years professional working experience in an established equestrian program
- Minimum 8 years riding experience ideally focused in the Western industry 
        *Familiarity with Parelli training methods is preferred but not required
- Must be comfortable signing a 1 year commitment in this role
- Must be capable of driving a 3 horse gooseneck trailer in event of emergency
- Must be willing to follow detailed care instructions and uphold owner's standards of horsecare at all times
- Must be willing to work weekends
- Must be able to bandage and provide basic first aide for horses
- Easygoing, collaborative teamwork attitude
- Willing to do all aspects of horse care 
- Possess a strong attention to detail and high care standards for horses
*Bonus if familiar with rehab modalities - i.e. massage, laser, PEMF, theraplate, etc
*Bonus is comfortable and able to give IV/IM injections

Benefits
- $65/hr with an average 35hour work week for an expected base comp totaling around $115,000
- 50% employer paid health insurance
- Relocation Stipend Available
- 4 day work week 
- PTO structure
- 1hr paid lunch daily
- Ability to make additional income with night check responsibilities
