Due to our longtime barn manager moving to Maine, Ship's Quarters Farm is looking for a new manager. This is a salaried position and includes a 4 bed, 2 bath house on site with free electric, boarding for one horse and commissions on on site activities like shows. A well behaved dog or cat would be welcome. The farm is primarily a horse boarding facility with about 24 horses. We are looking for someone with great people skills willing to be attentive to our boarders needs. Applicants should possess hands on horse skills, be able to handle small injuries and know when to call the vet. Knowledge about horse feeds and diet is important. Day to day duties include feeding, turning in and out, ordering of feed and all supplies and coordinating vet and farrier appointments. Some stall cleaning required but additional help is employed. Maintenance of arenas and pastures is required so the ability to drive a tractor and hook up small implements is a must. Owners live on the farm and are involved in daily activities. Although we have about 22 to 24 horses on the farm the horses are on night turnout year round unless the weather is unsafe to be out. A stall cleaner is employed 5 days a week. We have automatic water in pastures and stalls. We offer top care to our boarders but the manager is not responsible for grooming,tacking or exercising the horses. Resumes may be emailed to sharondawson514@gmail.com For questions and to discuss the position further please call Sharon Dawson 301 471 1254 The position is available April 1st 2025
