Help
We are seeking some enthusiastic workers who are open to learning about the breed and all it entails. You must be in relatively good shape and not scared of a hard days work and fun! If you know how to ride that is a bonus as we have many horses who require exercise. Are you ok to get your hands dirty? Foaling days are very rewarding but can be messy! Horse experience is a must as these horses require a lot of grooming!

Accommodation
Within the last year we built a new barn with living quarters above it. Two bedrooms, bathroom with a full kitchen and living space. Barn is across from our house so you will have privacy. Meals can be shared together or seperate if the person chooses. Our door is always open and the cupboards are always full. Town is only 15 minutes away if you want to explore.
Our barn is 4 stalls, heated and an indoor wash bay. We have an indoor riding arena, outdoor riding arena, round pen, outdoor wash bay and endless trails right from our yard.
What else ...
If you want to go off the ranch on your days off we are a small town who has many hiking trails, fishing, local events and bigger shopping centers are only 1.5 hours away! Endless possibilies.
We are a quiet family who puts our head down to work, we love what we do and take pride in our program and care of the horses. With two small children safety is our number one concern all around.
