Come ride the Rockies! Who wouldn't LOVE to be paid to ride horses? Wranglers must demonstrate good horsemanship skills on and off horseback and possess excellent communication skills. Our guests LOVE the wranglers and love a great conversation on a long ride through the mountains. Wranglers are responsible for leading trail rides, feeding, grooming and tacking the horses, jingling the 100+ herd in the mornings, and fence and trail maintenance. We seek "horse-people" who are on time, motivated, safety-minded, enthusiastic, and great in a team setting. Wranglers must be able to stay through the entire season. Lodging and excellent food is included on top of hourly pay! Due to housing availability, a male wrangler is what we need at this time, but please contact us before the New Year if you're interested in next season, when we hire both males and females! Wranglers receive 2 days off each week so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors and adventures our area has to offer. Come join us for all the fun and bring your talents to continue making our horse program top-notch!
