Location: Where I am happiest | I am sure it is a month which when housing is provided is pretty standard. Best to verify by contacting Lyndee Stais though.

| So 12 hours a day with one day off each week for $1000.00 a month. Is that before or after taxes? Shoot that's not even $4.00 an hour!

Location: Where I am happiest | Hey I was just passing on the info. lol. It does come with a house and utilities. Thats another $1000 a month at least. Most ranch jobs I know pay $1000 - $1500 a month with housing. Ranch jpbs ranch maintenance jobs are sure not a job to get rich on, BUT, it's a great job to get your foot in the door or a heck of alot better then being homeless. Those of us with alot of responsabilities and mortgages and truck payments and trailer payments it's obviously not for us. For someone looking to relocate, or needs a place to live, or wants a ranch/horse job and is footloose without all the financial baggage, then there ya go. I only posted the info because I see alot of young people posting on here looking for jobs with trainers. Dont shoot the messanger. |

Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | The experience that would come from that job is more valuable than a high salary I can promise you. Lyndee is a hand and a wealth of knowledge for a young person looking to go far in this business. |

I agree with you. I don't think it's bad pay for a young, single person who wants to break into the business. If I was a young single girl, I would jump at the chance to work with a well known professional who I could observe/learn from while being paid and no bills or rent. |

| Doesn't sound like the job has anything to do with horses except feed and clean up after them. Sounds like more of a barn helper rather than assistant riding and training etc. |

Location: Willows, CA | Lyndee is a true horsewoman with a lot of value to share. She has a nice place, and some pretty great horses. Nice feeding program too. It is not a lot of work to lift those 30 pound Renew Gold bags. Good luck to whoever takes this experience on.

Location: Nor Cal | I have met/trained and stayed at Lyndee's place in the past. She is a wonderful lady, with a wealth of knowledge. If I wasn't married with kiddos - I would def take this up. Don't have to ride the horses to learn ;) |

This is what I was thinking. . . Wow, what an opportunity to learn and get experience. |

Location: Pa | I will just add, in case someone doesn't see the post on FB, as stated by Lyndee herself, When she - Lyndee - goes to rodeos or shows, the person taking the job will most likely be staying at the ranch to watch over things. So if someone is currently racing or wanting to go to races/rodeos a lot, this would not be a good fit. |
