The Equine Manager is responsible for supporting the health, safety, training, and overall well-being of Ironstone Farm’s herd in support of therapeutic riding and equine-assisted programs. This role ensures horses are physically sound, behaviorally prepared, and appropriately matched for participation in lessons and programs.

● Educate staff and volunteers on equine behavior, body language, and stress signals.

● Promote consistent handling practices across instructors, volunteers, and staff.

● Support instructor development by sharing equine insights related to rider safety and horse welfare.

● Model calm, respectful, and trauma-informed interactions with horses. Program Collaboration

● Partner closely with the Program Director to support program goals and equine utilization.

● Collaborate with the Lesson Manager and instructors to ensure horses are prepared for lessons and programming.

● Coordinate with the Operations Director regarding feed, bedding, pasture management, and facility needs.

● Support equine purchases, leases, or retirement decisions.
