Experienced horse care help on Sundays

107 Farmington Rd. W, Accokeek MD

Description

We need someone who has experience feeding horses, turning them in and out and cleaning stalls to take care of our 18 horses on Sundays. We need an extremely reliable, hard-working, physically fit person who lives in or within 5 miles of Accokeek, Md. (in PG county just south of Fort Washington along the Potomac River.) We need someone who can show up at around 6:30 or 7am each Sunday, feed 14 horses in their stalls and 4 horses who live outside. That person then checks water troughs to make sure they are clean and half-full, throws hay to all the outside horses, puts the stalled horses in the pastures and cleans 14 stalls. That shift is a total of 5 hours. We need that same person to return to the farm at 5pm, feed the horses, return the 14 horses to their stalls (checking for missing shoes or cuts on the way in) and make sure all the automatic waterers are functioning, throw the horses a lot of hay, and blanket them if necessary. That shift is 1.5 hours. Pay is $100/day. There is extra money to be made at the farm repairing tractor and Ford truck. PLEASE DO NOT APPLY if you don't get up early, are liable to run into conflicts or fail to show up at the farm, or cannot commit to work weekends. We want a one-year commitment from a drug-free/alcohol-free, reliable individual who loves horses and farm work. Please text farm owner reply via Craigslist email. And thank you for reading this ad.
