We’re offering a long-term, live-in opportunity on a small, peaceful horse ranch in the Colorado mountains. This is not a full-time job, but a meaningful position for someone who values nature, animals, and a quiet lifestyle with supplemental income.

Daily Horse Care Responsibilities

  • Feed 3 horses twice daily (morning and evening)
  • Lead horses to and from pasture
  • Muck stalls and clean pastures
  • Occasionally clean hooves as needed
  • Refill pasture water bins as needed
  • Repair fences as needed
  • Shovel snow from stable runs during winter
  • Other tasks as needed

Property Caretaker Duties

Minimum of 12 hours per month “may” include the following tasks:

  • Plow driveway and remove snow from decks
  • Stain deck and house exterior (assisted with owner)
  • Perform minor handyman repairs
  • Cut down dead trees and branches (not required for hiring but preferred)
  • Assist with gardening and seasonal upkeep (weed whacking, pulling weeds)
  • Other maintenance tasks as needed
  • Everyone brings something unique, and we’re happy to consider a variety of skills that may benefit the ranch. If you have talents beyond the listed tasks we’d love to hear about it.

Compensation

  • $300/month minimum pay
  • Free, fully equipped private apartment
  • Additional work beyond the 12 monthly hours Property caretaker duties will be negotiated fairly

Apartment amenities and other

  • Cable TV and STARLINK internet
  • Washer/dryer

Requirements

  • Experience with horses handling

We’re looking for someone who’s tidy, courteous, upbeat, and dependable — someone who communicates clearly, takes pride in their work, and is physically capable of light outdoor tasks. If you’re semi-retired, work from home, or simply want a peaceful mountain lifestyle with meaningful but manageable responsibilities, this could be a great fit.
