Full Job Description

Sweetwater Campground & Riding Stables is looking for a dependable, experienced horse person who is passionate about equine care, petting zoo upkeep and takes pride in keeping animals healthy, clean, and guest-ready every single day.

This is a full-time, hands-on position requiring 40 hours per week, including weekends. If you're looking for a role where you'll primarily manage from a desk, this is not the position. We are looking for someone who enjoys working directly with horses every day and isn't afraid of hard work.

Pay: $15.00–$20.00 per hour, based on experience, horsemanship, reliability, and work ethic.

Schedule: Five days per week (40 hours), including weekends. Regular day off on Wednesday plus one additional flex day.

Daily Responsibilities

Every day, you will be actively involved in the care of our horses and ranch operations, including:

Feeding and watering horses each morning and evening
Grooming and brushing every horse
Picking and cleaning horse hooves
Bathing horses as needed to keep them clean and healthy
Saddling and unsaddling horses
Cleaning and conditioning saddles daily
Cleaning saddle pads and tack daily
Mucking stalls and keeping barns clean
Inspecting every horse daily for injuries, soreness, weight changes, illness, or behavioral concerns
Providing hands-on interaction with all horses every day
Exercising and riding horses regularly to maintain conditioning and evaluate soundness
Preparing horses for guided trail rides

Horse Health & Barn Management

You'll also be responsible for:

Scheduling veterinarian visits
Coordinating Coggins testing, vaccinations, deworming, dental care, and farrier appointments
Maintaining accurate health records
Monitoring feed intake and adjusting care when horses need extra attention
Keeping tack rooms, barns, feed rooms, and equipment clean, organized, and safe

Trail Ride Responsibilities

Lead guided trail rides
Teach guests basic riding safety
Match riders with appropriate horses
Ensure every ride is safe and enjoyable
Handle guest and horse emergencies calmly and professionally

We're Looking For Someone Who

Has previous horse handling and riding experience
Loves working directly with horses every day
Notices problems before they're pointed out
Takes ownership without being asked
Is dependable, hardworking, and physically capable of outdoor labor
Is comfortable working in Louisiana heat and all weather conditions
Can safely lift 50 pounds or more
Understands that horse care comes first

This is a physically demanding role, but it's also incredibly rewarding for someone who truly enjoys caring for horses and being part of a growing ranch community.

Pay: $15.00 - $20.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
