Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch
1 VERSATILE Person Needed for Wrangler/Rover Position at Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch! (+ Free Housing and Meals!)
Come join the Geronimo Trail Guest Ranch team in our beautiful area of southwest New Mexico, located at 6,500 feet elevation in the Ponderosa Pines. Explore the Canyons, Creeks, Forests, and Mountains of the Gila National Forest!
We are looking to hire one unique individual who wants it all: dramatic scenery, versatile work, independent living, and a truly memorable 2021 season in the mountains of southwest New Mexico!
***We are looking for someone who has horse experience and is comfortable working with young, fresh, energetic, spooky, and/or rank horses.***
The best way to have a good time is to show others a good time – Help us give our guests the best vacation they have ever had!
We are looking for someone to start work on February 21st and work until the end of November. We will consider applicants for all or part of the season.
We are a small ranch (16 guests max) and we are very remote. You need to have your own transportation to work here and be comfortable with long periods away from town/city life. If you are an independent person who likes time alone when working and during time off, this may be the job for you! Again, we are very remote, 2 hours from the nearest town.
$2,000/month salary, plus a share of tip pool and room and board included. Eating our chef's delicious meals with our guests is a huge bonus! Satellite TV and limited Wi-Fi are included. The value of this entire package is at least $4,000/month.
A job at our ranch requires a fast learner and a motivated self-starter. Versatility and flexibility are needed for this job's multiple roles. Working on a ranch consists of long hours, not your typical 9-5. One day off per week maximum. You will be able to hike and explore our beautiful area during your time off! Staff must be well groomed, flexible, able to take constructive criticism, and be a team player. Western attire is required.
We are hiring 1 person to do multiple tasks. Here are some of the things you will be expected to do:
- Ranch work: Cleaning, oiling tack and boots, fixing fence, painting, staining, other maintenance, watering flowers, anything else that needs to be done!
- Horse Care: Loading and unloading hay, feeding, doctoring, brushing, saddling, picking feet, scooping poop!
- Wrangler: Leading or following rides with guests as necessary – may not be every day depending on the number of guests. Must pay close attention to guests' safety. Must feel comfortable and have experience working with young, fresh, energetic, spooky, and/or rank horses.
- Hiking: Guiding some trips to Archeological and Historical sites and scenic viewpoints as guests desire.
- Server: Setting up, serving meals to the guests, and clean up after meals.
- Housekeeping: Cleaning the 4 ranch cabins once a week after each group of guests leaves, cleaning other ranch buildings as necessary at least once a week. Attention to detail is necessary.
- Entertaining and spending time with the guests: during the day as well as evening campfires, line dancing, games or movies as they desire until 10 PM each evening.
- One Person, Many Hats!
