I bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and the ability to take initiative—whether that’s running day-to-day operations, handling livestock, or ensuring guests have a safe and quality experience. I have experience working independently and making day-to-day operational decisions. My equipment experience consists of six wheelers, UTV/ATV, hauling trailers and livestock, but I am always willing to learn new things and I am a fast, hands-on learner. Physically capable for lifting and working outdoors year-round.
I’m looking for a position where I can contribute immediately and be a valuable part of the operation. I am looking to stay in Colorado, Western Slope area is preferred. I am a mother of three kids, one very well-trained dog, and a few horses. Please note that I am a mother first, my kids are my world, and they often come to work with me now if I am unable to get a sitter. My oldest even rides/guides trail rides with me every summer for 6 months of the year. Would love some place with the possibility of also running an equine-related business on the side.
