What is a live in horse?

A Live In Horse position typically refers to a job where an individual lives on-site at a stable, ranch, or equestrian facility to care for horses. Duties may include feeding, grooming, mucking out stalls, exercising the horses, and sometimes assisting with training or lessons. Living on the property allows for close monitoring and immediate response to the horses' needs, which is especially important for large operations or facilities with valuable or high-maintenance horses. The role may also involve general maintenance of the property and facilities. Compensation can include salary, housing, and sometimes board for the employee’s own horse.

Both roles require similar skills and certifications, but the main difference lies in housing and work commitment.
