Greetings all!
This is a paid position and, as such, requires a valid work permit.
Ideally we would find someone with skills in agriculture and machinery in specific. We are not in a hurry at this point to fill the position, but I thought I would reactivate our account now. (We will need someone starting about the middle of July 2026 for sure.) To be clear, at this time we are not looking for another rider (at least it would not be the main focus.)
The job could potentially lead to long term, full time employment for the right person. (Yes, I realize I'm on a workaway site, but we've always had excellent luck finding great people on here!)
About us:
We are a family ranch in a remote area of British Columbia. We run a commercial cow/calf operation (calving out 500+ this year) and have about 25 head of horses (give or take a few).
We start calving at the beginning of March, do a pile of range riding in May and June. Along with the range riding, we offer guided rides (hourly, daily or overnight trips) for the local youth during the summer months. We start haying around mid July. We have our cattle rounded up and calves sold at the end of October.
Our horses are gently started and then learn as they go on the ranch and in the mountains. The majority of them have never seen an arena. They are almost all out during the winter as we really don't start riding until the end of April or so.
Most importantly, you must be easy going and adaptable, as every day can bring a new challenge. If you need 'routine' in your life, our ranch may not be the place for you. :) What you will be helping with will change with the days and the seasons. There are no set rules or hours, you'll just hang out and work with us, side by each, for all aspects of ranch life. That will include both outside and inside work.....from helping prepare dinner and sweeping a floor to various outdoor chores, fencing and moving cows.....all depends on the season, your abilities and what is happening at that time. Trust me, ranching is not as romantic as the movies make it look. Unfortunately, it's not all 'riding into the sunset'.....someone still has to cook dinner, wash the dishes and shovel barn pens in real life! :P
We very rarely take people for less than 2 months, or often a 'season', such as calving season or haying season. It is a long way here from anywhere, and our ranch life does not provide an easy routine to just step in and out of, especially during our busy times. 🙃
So if you are looking for a new challenge, drop us a line! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Cheers all and best of luck!

We offer a simple, hardworking Canadian lifestyle. In our remote location, the basics are what count and frills, gimmicks and bling are left behind. You will instantly become part of our family and we are well used to, and enjoy having new faces at our table. The skills you will learn are 100% hands on, and change with the seasons. Safety is our first priority and we expect to train and guide you. Our food is relatively simple "meat and potatoes style" and you'll never leave the family table hungry. In fact, best bring your stretchy pants. lol

I hope I've covered most everything in the above summary, but would be happy to answer any questions.
The work will vary with the seasons and the most current project. It could be anything from renovations to driving a dump truck to helping check cattle. All in all I can promise a variety of experiences. 😊

Algo más...
Please note that we are quite isolated and are four hours away from shopping malls, movies theatres, or Tim Hortons. We did very recently get cell service, which is very spotty at the ranch. We live 'off the grid'. The town we live near is very small, but the people are hard working and genuine.
