My boss asked me today if I had any experience as a barn manager. I said with the exception of my own horses no. I know that I would be on call pretty much all the time, that I would be in charge of getting hay, grain, bedding, vet visits, farrier visits, keeping records for each horse, regulating their feed, turnout, and anything esle they want me to do. That job that I talked about before this is one of the openings. It would pay $450/week, is that a good rate for that position? I'm not sure about the hours or any more details right now, but my boss is willing to let me go as she knows I need the money for my family. Right now I work at her barn so I can board Drew so I'm not making anything while I work there. I have another barn I'm keeping Drew at this winter (same barn as last winter, but it will only be Drew and maybe 1 or 2 more horses). My board there will only be 1/2 of what I'm working off now and I have the oppertunity yo keep him there year round. she said they may not care as I would have lots of references (her and others) as too how well I work, that I can take charge when they go on vacation, ect. There has been many times I had to deal with the farrier and vet with her horses, her boarders horses, and the same thing at the other barns I've worked at. Sorry this is so long, just wanted to update and get some opinions on the price, ect.
