POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Employees of the company are involved with all
aspects of a stable operation. Including, but not
limited to: leading trail rides, riding horses of
different levels of difficulty, all maintenance and
cleaning duties associated with a stable, grooming
and feeding procedures, saddling and unsaddling of
horses, and a full range of daily customer contact. |
| |
PAY RATES
The monthly salary includes a
monthly salary plus your room and
board. This company, unlike many
others, does not pay a salary and
then deduct part for room and board.
This is a good point to keep in
mind. |

|
If
you complete your contract you receive a season
bonus. |
| |
|
The other form of income is "tips" from the guests
on the trail rides. The total income from this
obviously hinges a great deal on your performance
and abilities to take care of the guests. Tips are
not put into a "general fund," so if you and the
other wranglers on your trail ride keep the guests
happy and safe you will do well with tips. |
