We are seeking someone who is interested in helping with the ongoing physical upkeep of a horse farm, including mowing, weed whacking, harvesting hay, fence-upkeep, and other ongoing jobs. This job is slightly different than a farmhand, who is more focused on upkeep in the horse areas, with mucking, raking, and addressing other animal-specific needs. Being comfortable, handy or even mechanically inclined regarding farm equipment is a big plus!
