Oregon Opportunity
Tired of expensive and inadequate housing? Looking to use and build your equestrian skills? Join us in beautiful Oregon on a friendly, small equestrian facility and live, play, and work. Trade out barn maintenance and horse care for housing near Junction City, OR. Great opportunity for a college student, remote worker, or semi-retired individual.
Good location to further education. Located between Corvallis (Oregon State with Equine and Agricultural programs and veterinary college) and Eugene, home of University of Oregon. Also, nearby Linn-Benton Community College in Albany offers an Associate’s degree in equine management.
Opportunity available July1. Pet friendly for a well behaved pet. Boarding space for at least one horse. This is a part time work/trade out for rent, so ideal situation to pursue education or work outside of these responsibilities.
Must have experience and good skills with horses, with an emphasis on connection and building trust. Must be a team player with good communication skills, physically fit to do required work (on occasion cleaning up to 10 stalls in a day or unloading hay) reliable, have a strong work ethic, and a good sense of humor. Absolutely no smoking or alcohol/drug abuse. No working under the influence.
Happy to work with you to take advantage of your skills and create the right fit for both of us. Opportunity to share your skills and build additional ones. Stall cleaning, barn maintenance, feeding, and horse turn out/in are must haves. Can also explore options for grooming and ground work with horses and possible riding. Bonus points if you have maintenance skills with small equipment for mowing, w**d whacking, pruning, fence repair, painting, etc.
Housing is available in a late model, well maintained, 27’ travel trailer on site with all the amenities. Kitchen, bathroom, dinette area, couch, queen bed, heat, AC, WiFi, linens, dishes, and small appliances. Monthly housekeeping included. Private space near barn with small yard. Electricity, water, and Internet with WiFi are included. Propane and pumping of external black water tank (4 to 6 times a year) are not included.
We are a long-established Farm Stay and stable. We have personal horses, overnight and vacation boarding, a small lesson program, and offer equine assisted psychotherapy with licensed clinical counselors.
Our emphasis is on gaited horses, pleasure and trail riding, Working Equitation and Liberty work. We also offer Farm Stays in our guest cottage and host RV guests and travelers with horses. Safe. Clean. Senior woman-owned business. We’d love to find the right person to join our team.
