Willow Creek Ranch
About:
We are a private horse ranch located near Mount Shasta in Northern California, with miles of forest trails, lakes, creeks and breath taking views.

• General care of the horses to include feeding, grooming, mucking, bathing, turn out, etc
• Basic doctoring of wounds and administering both IV and IM injections as required.

Requirements:
• Experienced horse rider, ideally in both Western and English disciplines, with knowledge of finishing horses to a beginner safe standard.
