Help on the horse farm in Derby, Kansas USA

Details

• 

  Description

  We teach kids and adults to ride. Board Horses, train horses, horse camps, and all kinds of equine activities and other livestock. Our farm is located in Derby Kansas on 80 acres. We love sharing our country lifestyle. Horses are the primary focus but we also have goats, pigs, cattle, chickens and you never know what else I might bring home. So it is a busy lifestyle for us. We are currently looking for help with trimming up the riding trails, weed eating, mowing, yard work, and cleaning up after our animals. It is a lot of hands-on activities and HARD work.
  
  We have been in business for over 30 years, taught thousands of people to ride, and have had top competitors in the horse world. I'm looking to branch out and give back to the community and explore new avenues, meet new people, share the fabulous environment of the farm that I love so much.
  
  At this time we do not accept couples or children and NO pets.
  
  If you have your own travel trailer we do have hookups.
  
  Please read our listing completely!! So you understand this is a working position.

  What's this?

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I can provide housing, a great environment, and education on farm life. We do work a lot and spend our time in the barns. We get all the farm fresh eggs we could want, and raise our own beef, pork, and have a garden. This is a chance to see a working horse farm firsthand and learn about and interact with the farm animals. You are welcome to walk around the farm and enjoy the animals and fresh air. I can pay minimum hourly wage for 20 hours work a week.

  Help

  I am looking for someone who is interested in farm life. We do it all ourselves. Feeding, cleaning, mowing, repairs, gardening, etc. We work in all kinds of weather, our hours vary depending on what is happening. It's best to be in good shape, love animals, and be flexible. The suggested work schedule is from 8:00 am to 12:00 Noon or 6:00 am to 10:00 am. We will ask you to work on the days we most need the help but I am flexible on the hours & days. There is also horseback riding available in exchange for working.
