We are looking to hire both breakfast/lunch cooks and a dinner cook. They are responsible for food preparation for both guests and staff. Responsibilities include preparing meals using established recipes, providing direction to other lodge staff, maintaining inventory to minimize food waste and upholding standards for cleanliness and organization. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, whereas dinner is served “family” style with entrees and side dishes served on platters and refilled until everyone has had enough. They must have experience accommodating different dietary restrictions in addition to the set menu that is served. Experience cooking for large groups of people is a must, and a restaurant background is strongly encouraged.

At least 1 full season of trail guiding experience is a requirement for this position. Wranglers must be outgoing and friendly, hardworking, and have excellent, proven horse skills. This job requires hard work and long hours, and lots of contact with guests. Wranglers must have a positive attitude towards their job and the ranch, and must be able to get along well with our guests. They should be familiar with riding rough terrain and have a good sense of direction. General knowledge of safety standards for horse care and handling and equipment used in horse care is a must.  Safety for guests, staff and horses are always priority.  

Wranglers are supervised by the Head Wrangler and work with him/her to take care of the horses (feeding, grooming, veterinary care), saddle and unsaddle, lead guest/staff on trail rides, supervise arena activities including team penning and the children’s rodeo, give riding lessons to children and adults, and the daily cleaning of the barn and loading area. We have approx. 70 horses and wranglers must learn them all by sight, name, and personality.

You might be asked to ride a young or problem horse in the arena or on the trails so experience training horses is helpful, however, the Head Wrangler will assess your ability when you arrive and will not ask you to do any training you are not comfortable with or not skilled to do.

In addition, wranglers are required to participate in certain guest activities every week including, but not limited to, eating at least one meal with the guests (not during covid) and participating in our farewell Awards night.

Maintenance of all trails, pasture fences, corrals, tack room, and barn are also part of the wrangler’s duties.

Experience driving a team of horses, shoeing horses, operating a tractor, and driving a truck and trailer are helpful but not necessary.
