Black Horse Resort Ranch is hiring! Umatilla FL - This is a part time job with lots of room for growth and development.

WHO WE ARE:
We are an equine event center and a destination vacation facility for people who travel with horses. You will meet horse people from all over the country and beyond, and you will have a blast at work being part of the productions we put on! We have a tack shop onsite and a very bustling winter season. We specialize in over the top obstacle courses and totally unique events like our famous Horseback Easter Egg Hunt!

We are looking for someone who is ready to join a team of people who work hard and take care of each other. Family and community mindset is important to us.

This role will be primarily part of our equestrian team which includes:
- stalls
- feeding
- caring for the ranch horses and guest horses
- exercising ranch horses
- cleaning and upkeeping the barns and grounds
- keeping things “show ready”
- creating a welcoming atmosphere for all visitors

Experience handling horses, especially large horses like warmbloods and drafts, as well as young horses, is a must.

Other Musts:
- able tack English and western
- able to polo wrap
- able to lunge (ground driving would be a big bonus but we’ll teach you if not!)
- able to ride W/T/C including picking up correct leads and swapping them

We’re not looking for an expert, just someone who is not in the beginner/green stage. You will learn a lot in this role!

The right person for the job is:
- coachable
- friendly
- great with people (it is a customer facing role as much as is it a a”barn” role!)
physically fit
- comfortable outside in florida weather
- able to work weekend days

this is a very laborious, all weather job.

Options:
- If you have your own rv and want to live on property (no housing included in this role unless you come in your own)
- additional possibilities If you have retail or check in/reservation experience

DM me if you are interested, and submit your resume to [email protected]

Oh just a little sneak peak of something from the upcoming course.... JUNE 27 LIGHTS OF LIBERTY OBSTACLE COURSE!!

Night time course on our bridle path trail just on the edge of the property. Tons of fun lights and decor to see, bubbles, fog, and lots of new obstacles and challenges to enjoy!!

Judge is on course with you the whole time and guides you through. There is nothing to memorize. It's not timed, judges will gently guide you along if an obstacle isn't working out, but we allow attempts, and attempts count for points still!

Whether you place or not, this is an absolutely fun adventure and challenge that is totally worth experiencing! Come solo and make friends, or grab your buddies load up and come on over. We go all in on our courses, don't miss it!

Haul in for the day or stay overnight, the next day is our big tack & craft sale!!

**Full Flyer in the Comments!**
8pm start time.

You asked Melo's story so here it is...
Biggest gooberest snuggiest sweet muffin huge puppy boy.

We love our Carmelo so much, and everyone who meets him falls in love too! Melo is a 4 year old 18.3hh Percheron gelding, and he is a total lover, yes he knows he's that big, and yes he knows that everyone is looking at him.

Back in November, Danielle & Misty came across pictures of this guy and he was a little dim looking in his photos. They paid attention to the sale he was being put through, and waited for his video livestream. They noticed in the video he was extremely skinny with rough marks all over him, patches of hair missing and hip bones you could bump your head on they were so prominently sticking out. You could see his spine, and he had a lot of skin fungus issues going on. There was no way Danielle could let him stay in that condition. They hooked up the trailer and went to pick him up that night to get this boy rehabbed. Minute 1 he already stole Danielle's heart, but within 2 weeks he had claimed his spot at the ranch in the hearts of everyone. He started to come alive and light up quickly with good groceries and lots of treats, love, and great baths with our favorite BioMane Products and Neighked products. Today, people see him from the road and pull in just to meet him. He loves every second of the attention.

We love you boy, so glad you are here 🩷 You're absolutely worth 2 broken boards per week. But if you could stop breaking them we'd also really appreciate that. 😆
