Rehab Specialist - Private 3 Horse Ranch

EquiStaff

Santa Fe, NM • On-site

$65/hr

Full-time

Posted 19 days ago

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 (NOT under the equine staff's care!). 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 Rehab Specialist of the owner's 3 forever horses. 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. Though after a particularly trying 2025, the team is in need of someone well versed in performance therapies and rehab work to strengthen the team and better the lives of the horses on-site. This person will be responsible for collaborating closely with the existing team and veterinarians to devise a rehab and ongoing maintenance plan for the horses, along with maintaining the highest standards of care alongside the rest of the team. The owner is open to exploring any devices/therapeutic modalities that this individual may be experienced with, including PEMF, Laser, Cryotherapy, myofascial release, training with a Pessoa rig, and more. With a typical work schedule running 7:30am-4:00pm just 4 days per week with schedule consisting of Weds-Saturday, there are generally at least 2 individuals working in the barn at all times. The ideal individual will have an easygoing personality and will be willing to collaborate closely with the existing team, 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 and donkeys are not the responsibility of the equine care team 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!

This is NOT a leadership position. There will be no training or management of additional staff, and applicants MUST be willing to observe and adhere to the existing structures and quiet nature of the team here.

A minimum of a 12 month commitment is required in this position. (Though let's be real, this is the opportunity of a lifetime!!) 

Potential start date looking like Late-June/Early-July pending relocation of existing staff member

Job Duties
- Feed horses - 2x/day for gain and 4x/day for hay
- Bring horses to/from turnout
- Stall Cleaning Daily
- Check horses' feet before and after turnout and working

- Collaborate closely with Owner and Veterinary team to devise rehab and maintenance plan for the horses
- Exercise horses both in the arena and on the trails on schedule in collaboration with the Barn Manager, Trainer 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 2 years rehab experience in an established program
- Minimum 8 years riding experience, preferably with Western riding styles 
        *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 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 - amount depending on individual scenario
- 4 day work week 
- 1hr paid lunch daily
- Ability to make additional income with night check responsibilities

Housing
Applicants must be willing to source their own housing within 45min of the ranch
