    Horsemanship Counselor

    Hayfork

    Horsemanship staff are responsible for caring for the herd of horses (approximately 25 horses), leading trail rides, teaching lessons, and helping campers connect with the horsemanship program. We mostly operate a western riding program, with trail rides being our main activity. However, we also teach children english riding lessons, jumping, vaulting, and other arena-based activities.

All of our barn staff are also responsible for a group of campers and participate fully in other camp activities outside of the barn as well.

    Qualifications:

    • Minimum age 19 by June 9, 2024
    • Passion for working with youth
    • Quick learner with strong problem-solving skills
    • Experience working with horses, both on the ground and under saddle; teaching experience is a plus
