Job Description:

POSITION SUMMARY

During the summer, Miracle Ranch provides lessons, trails rides and horse education. This position
creates amazing opportunities for the development of servant leadership, communication skills,
horsemanship knowledge and interpersonal relationships. Working at the Miracle Ranch’s horse program
provides a place for the horse enthusiasts to serve Jesus by teaching kids and adults about horsemanship.
There's a lot of variety in a wrangler's schedule but here are a few of things which wranglers participate
in. Wranglers provide the care and management of the herd of 40+ horses at Miracle Ranch under the
direction of the horse program director and the head wrangler. This consists of feeding, chores and
cleaning for the horses and small farm animals on camp property. In addition, wranglers teach or assist in
the group lessons in western or english horsemanship. During this time, wranglers are instructing and
correcting the riders in their riding and ensuring the safety of the rider and their horse. Trails rides are a
large part of Miracle Ranch’s program and wranglers mount riders on horses, give an orientation on basic
riding skills then go on the trails rides with guests. This position requires horsemanship experience.
Wranglers also assist in program and housekeeping as needed throughout the summer though the horse
program is the wrangler’s main responsibility.
