Robert & Deborah K.
Dear Potentially Interested Applicants,
My husband and I are looking to hire a Ranch-Hand/Caretaker to help run and maintain our 20+ acre Horse Ranch located in Lyons, Colorado.
The Rand-Hand job would be for a fixed 32 hours per week. These hours would be divided amongst the many necessary chores. Please see the Ranch-Hand ‘Work Description’ below.
An additional 8 hours per week would be for House-Sitting/Caretaking when we travel. Our intention is to pay a consistent 40 hours/week for 52 weeks which would include 3 paid weeks of vacation (taken in increments of a minimum 1 week at a time).
House –Sitting/Caretaking of the Ranch House is at various times throughout the year. The 8 hours per week would be paid even though we may not travel that week. These 8 hours would accumulate and be used when we travel.
PLEASE NOTE: This job does not offer housing or benefits, and we do not have the space for a trailer. The Rand-Hand/Caretaker must have experience working with horses and must have a 4-Wheel Drive Vehicle to be able to drive up to the ranch in the winter.
I am an Equine-Guided Coach and host sessions and workshops at the Ranch, therefore wise and experienced loving care and maintenance of the ranch and animals is our priority.
