About High Horses

High Horses Center for Equine-Assisted Services is a PATH Intl. Premier Accredited Center dedicated to improving lives through human–horse connections that support learning, healing, and personal growth.

We provide equine-assisted services for people of all ages and abilities in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where horses, participants, volunteers, and staff all play an important role in our community.

Our team values integrity, respect, empathy, teamwork, and a sense of joy in our work; both with people and with horses.

Position Overview

We are seeking a dependable, hardworking Barn Assistant to support daily horse care and barn operations at our facility in Sharon, Vermont.

This is a hands-on, physical role that is essential to keeping the barn running safely and smoothly while ensuring excellent care for our herd.

This part-time position averages approximately 20–25 hours per week and includes weekends and morning and afternoon blocks). We work with our team members to establish a regular schedule that supports both individual availability and the needs of the barn, while collaborating to ensure coverage for weekends, vacations, and other time away throughout the year.

Competitive hourly pay is offered based on experience and qualifications in addition to paid time off, 401K, and paid holidays.

Barn and Facility Care
