We have 3 residences on the property that we trade rent for help with stable chores.  There are 2 mobile homes and one small house.  The chores involve morning feeding and turn outs and evening cleaning, watering, and turn outs during the week and then feeding, cleaning, and turn outs on one weekend every month.  Horse experience is required.  Our manager makes a schedule for every month that accommodates everyone's needs.  For each unit, it is about 6-8 hours during the week and about the same amount of time on one weekend per month.

The 3 residences are:

• The mobile home with an address of 6239 State Road 43 North is a 12x60 two bedroom.  It was rebuilt with new vinyl windows and had a new furnace.  Water, electricity and sewage are furnished.  Renter pays phone and gas.  TV cable and high speed internet broadband and VOIP phone is available on the cable..  One window air conditioner is furnished.

• The mobile home with an address of 6241 State Road 43 North is a 12x60 two bedroom unit.  It also was rebuilt with new vinyl windows and floors.  Water, electricity and sewage are furnished.  Renter pays phone and gas.  TV cable and high speed internet broadband and VOIP phone is available on the cable.   It has washer & dryer hookup if gas dryer used.  One window air conditioner is furnished.

The Work

• Morning feeding of hay and grain takes about 20 minutes.  The hay and grain are moved on separate wheeled carts   

• Evening cleaning involves cleaning the stalls into muck buckets that are stacked on a flat bed cart that is pulled down the aisle ways.  The buckets are then dumped into the manure spreader.  Sawdust is added to any stall that needs additional bedding.

• Morning turn outs involve bringing night horses in and putting morning horses out in the pasture.  Horses are turned out in compatible pairs every day, weather permitting.

• Watering requires keeping the buckets filled until the weekend when they are cleaned and disinfected.

• In the summer, the occupant(s) of the house help with mowing.  The yard area that is mowed takes about an hour. 

If you think you are interested in this arrangement, please contact us.  Our preference is for people who have horse experience and can stay for at least one year.  The units are very near the riding arena and paths to the pasture so there is a safety issue with small children.
