Description:
BAILEY, COLORADO



I am rectifying my ad in order to be even clearer so anyone understands what I’m looking for... no surprises.



Ranch Hand needed for Small 35 acres Horse Ranch

chores mornings and evenings , basic 1-2 hours /day (and will be also at noontime while I’m away from the ranch, the extra noontime chores will be compensated extra as well)

7 days a week (Hours and days work can be flexible, and can be arrange and changed with mutual agreement)



I will prioritize hiring an individual who can do multiple additional tasks: house maintenance, repairs as needed, etc.… which will be compensated separate from the basic ranch work, and you will be paid as independent contractor, at your set fee.

House Cleaning work is offered also cleaning 2 bedroom/ 2 bath for future Airbnb) this is also separate from the ranch business with salary negotiable.

Free apartment available



Must:

Be honest, mature and dedicated to the wellbeing of 5 horses

Keep living apartment clean and in good condition at all time.

Provide 3 good referrals

Absolutely no smoking

Sorry NO DOG ALLOWED



Work description:

Feeding 2- (3 times when I’m away) daily 5 horses

Mucking 3-4 times daily in summer time (fly season) when horses are kept inside the stable, and 2-3 times a day in winter inside stable as well

Mucking (1-2 acres) pastures 2-3 times a week during summer season and 1-2 times a week during cold seasons

Stable Water Buckets must be clean scrub daily before refilling with fresh water

Pasture Water Bins, when visually dirty must be emptied, scrub clean, before refilling with fresh water

I LOVE NICE CLEAN WATER FOR THE HEALTH OF OUR HORSES.

Occasionally help me with brushing/ wash horses

Check hooves at least once a week

Move horses inside and out the stable according to weather pattern (they are kept inside when windy, raining, snowing, or during Elks passage a few days during spring and fall) they stay out in pastures day and night when weather permits it.

Blanket horses as needed when colder than 20-25 degree

Operate skid to fix utility road occasionally (2 times/ year average) and use also to push manure to a pile at the lower level dump, done every months or 2 months.

Fix wire fences as needed

Must be able to lift and move 65 pound bale easily and without causing much strain or pain

Take all garbage’s out to the curb weekly

Keep stable, workshop and ranch property neat and orderly at all times

Removing snow from stable runs ( as much as possible) as needed to help avoid melting i.e causing overly muddy runs

Use plow truck on driveway in winter as needed (7-10 time per year average/year). The property is on the south East side with sun exposure all day long melting most of snow fall of 6” or less within 1 hour direct sun. We are also very lucky to be located in a "Banana Belt" :not much snow or rain, as our neighbor towns do get lots more…)

I try to think of everything possibly needed to be done, but there are things that come up and are very hard to predict which are not stated on this list of chores.



As we are in the process of getting a permit for a short-term rental (Airbnb) and it will require regular cleaning which will be paid separately and from that rental business, I will prefer hiring a couple for that reason (but not necessarily).

I will be here to also take over some regular chores while some other chores are necessary (ex: plowing, rid of extra snow in runs, and others, otherwise if i’m unable to be there while extra work are needed, I will compensate $ for the extra time worked)

Other work will be available for extra $$$:

Weed whacking along driveway and back of house along buildings (once or twice a year) this is about 1-3 hours depending on the area in need at the time

Yearly pressure wash of house and deck and staining of deck(s)

“Possibly” staining of house

Painting on workshop and stable partly and/or whole buildings (they are both due for a protective coat)

Planting flowers (not a whole lot)

Some landscaping work

Occasional car/truck/ mule cleaning

Hanging fly traps throughout property

refreshing runs(curing pee spots on occasion, add pea gravel, etc...)

Others…



This position is ideal for a young retired couple who don’t need of full time work and would like to make a little extra $ without having to leave their home…

Or is also working at home (although slower internet speed here in the mountain... on the waiting list for Starlink))

Or you may have a hubby and can be flexible enough to take good care of the horses needs

We will be away for short and longer period at time and will trust that all is taking care of.

Good communication is "extremely" important between all. If you do not communicate well, please do not apply for this position.



Benefits:

Includes free beautiful fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment, with internet and cable tv, washer and dryer, plenty of closet space, perfect for one person but big enough for a couple

Huge workshop for additional storage, hubby or for carpentry work, etc... (The wood heating stove in it just need updating if you intend to use the space in winter)

Paid major Holidays, paid 1 Week Vacation and Yearly Bonus

You’ll be living on a gorgeous 35 acre ranch in the beautiful hills of Bailey, Colorado

Surrounded by National State Parks

Great neighborhood, great people

Delicious restaurants and winery with entertainment nearby;



Only 10 minutes from 2 big grocery stores pharmacies, post offices, professional offices, etc...

30 minutes from Home Depot and Costco

1 hour 10 min to Denver Airport
