Help needed. Mineola, Texas. One person, live on site in a nice one bedroom cabin, NO PETS! Utilities paid (there is a cap on the electric, last one ran up a $500 bill!) including water, propane & Wi-Fi, plus $350 cash paid every week. We also have a very nice swimming pool! Arabian horse farm, including stallions, so you do need to be familiar/experienced with handling horses!
Duties:
*Clean stalls 2x a day. We currently have only 12 stalls, and 8 of them are only lightly used.... (read more)
*check and clean run-ins as needed
*set up and keep flowerbeds and other “landscape” type areas pretty.
*weedeater, bushwhacker and zero turn mower, use them!
*Turn out and bring in specified horses
*groom/bathe horses as directed
*help with breeding and foaling during that time of the year.
*general light maintenance around the farm. We have a full time maintenance person, just smaller things that are pretty easy.
*keep water tanks and buckets clean and full
*clean the pool (net leaves, use vacuum)

This is a six (or seven if you want to make a little extra) day a week job, and at least one of the three employees must be on site at any given time. That’s usually me, but even I need to go to the store sometimes!

In the summer we start early and the day is usually split so you get a break during the hottest part of the day, and only a couple hours work in the evening.

Please do not apply if you have pets, horses, health issues, criminal record, drink, or use drugs.

PM for more info. References required.

Please include references, current occupation, location, job history, experience.
As long as you have some experience handling horses, I’m willing to train the right person!
