Barn Manager, Trainer, InstructorLouisiana

Job Description

Grass Roots Stables have been owned by me for 18 years. It has been a training stable only for the last year. Prior to last year, it was a boarding stable only. One year ago I leased the stable to a trainer as a training facility. I would like to continue to use this facility in this manner. This past year has been a learning experience for both the "first time sole charge" trainer and myself.
I live on the property and and oversee it. Since the stable is owned by me, I am responsible for any routine maintenance. That is my only financial responsibility.
I provide a 14 stall stable. Stalls are large and measure 11 1/2 x 13 1/2 feet. All stalls have floors that are a hard base and absorbent that were redone one year ago. All stalls have auto water. All stalls have auto insect spray during the summer. Stables have a "community" tackroom and a "community" feedroom. The stable also has an office for the trainer. There are three outdoor concrete washracks and an indoor hot water washrack to be added soon. There is a 2 year old factory horse walker at the stables. There is one large (approx. 3 acres) pasture for herd turnout and one small (approx. 1/2 acre) paddock for individual turnout. Another 1/2 paddock is in the plans. Both turnouts have auto water and a covered shed. I supply an area for hay. There is an outdoor (not covered) arena. Arena comes with jumps, poles, and barrels. A round pen is also here. These are all the things that I supply.
Everything to operate a training facility, other than the items mentioned above, are the trainer's responsibility to supply. The trainer must be financially able to support a new business. This cannot be overstated.
Some of the things that trainer must supply: Lesson horses, all care (feed, hay, bedding, vet, ferrier) of lesson horses, all care of partial and full care horses ( of which the trainer will be paid for), tack, helmets, advertising, office furniture and equipment if office is used), horse trailer, and labor if need
