About this job
Lazy T Ranch is hiring a year-round Ranch Caretaker. Spend approximately six months in Ten Sleep, Wyoming, and six months in Arizona, caring for properties, horses, vehicles, and equipment. Seasonal relocation is required.
What you will do
• Drive trucks and trailers between properties, maintain trip records, and check vehicle readiness.
• Deep-clean buildings and kitchens, and detail vehicles and aircraft carefully.
• Saddle, unsaddle, wash, and handle horses; assist with grounds and equipment tasks.
• Prepare properties for seasonal opening and closing and report maintenance needs.
How the work fits together
Lazy T's family history began with Leland Jenkins in Idaho in 1944. Horses and cattle have remained central to the business through five generations. The ranch moved to Ten Sleep in 2017, where natural springs and artesian wells supply its grazing land. Its cattle-handling approach emphasizes moving animals calmly on horseback. Owners Ty and Debbie Jenkins remain part of a small team that includes ranch management, horse training, equipment operation, maintenance, and housekeeping. The caretaker supports this practical working environment while also maintaining the family's Arizona property. This is a varied support position rather than a role limited to riding: cleaning, transport, and property care are substantial parts of the work alongside handling horses.
What the employer is looking for
• Bring a clean driving record and experience with thorough cleaning and horse handling.
• Work independently, exercise discretion, and safely perform sustained physical work around heavy equipment.
• A CDL, mechanical ability, and property-care or detailing experience are preferred.
Schedule, conditions, and compensation
Pay depends on experience. Housing is provided free at both locations, with medical, dental, vision, paid leave, and relocation support. Frequent long-distance travel is required. The workplace prohibits tobacco and drugs and requires pre-employment and ongoing screening. Discuss the salary and travel schedule during hiring.
