Looking for a riding job

To begin, I apologize for my first post being a request, but I'm rapidly running out of ideas....
I'm not really sure what the protocol is here, but it's worth a shot....


I am an experienced 34 year old man with a spouse, but no children. I am looking for a long-term or permanent position. I would like to find a predominantly riding position with the opportunity to ride my personal horses or outside colts in addition to company horses. I am mostly interested in working in Montana, Idaho, or Wyoming, with Nevada and Utah running a close second. I would also consider the other western states if the opportunity were good enough. I am interested in a remote position, so a camp job would be ideal.

I have worked cowboyed throughout the west, including Montana, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Wyoming, and Arizona. I’ve got experience in all phass of cow-calf and yearling operations.
I have a resume available. I can be contacted via email at [email protected]

If anyone knows of anything available, I’d sure be delighted to hear about it!

Thanks Yanuck. Looked like mostly farming jobs, but I'll add the site to my favorites list so I can keep checking it out. Appreciate the info!

You might try looking around Elko Nevada on outfits like The Spanish Ranch or the 76. Down around Garison Nevada there are some big outfits also. I don't know where to look except doing a search for Elko's newspaper. Good luck. :D

I'd go to the Span if their horses didn't scare the ever-loving Holy hell outta me. I can start colts all day long, and don't mind getting piled off occasionally, but their horses are broncs all day long.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I dont bounce like I used to either! :lol: :lol:


Exactly. I had a company horse go down on me the winter before last in Wyoming. Ended up getting kicked in the face a couple times and KOd. $40,000 worth of reconstructive surgery later.........


Fortunately, the company paid for it, since it was the cowboss' fault it happened in the first place.

Summer before that, I was riding colts for a former NFR saddle bronc qualifier. Ended up with a broken arm, and blew my knee to pieces...torn ACL,MCL, meniscus, and patellar tendon. Note to self: If an NFR saddle bronc rider won't get on his horses....I probably ought not either!
