EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
WRANGLER
- POSITION DESCRIPTION
We are a small company of cowboys and cowgirls that
got its start in 2001. We were motivated by the idea
of delivering a higher quality, day time horse activity
that was still affordable and held closely to the
Western ideals of horse/rider interaction. We are
still staffed by the same core of people who began
this venture, along with a few new additions. Our
staff, though small, excels at giving our guests the
kind of personal, Western touch that so many outfits
have forgotten. While we are always hoping to add
new and exciting features to our list of activities,
we are most concerned with maintaining a close, personal
interaction with each and every guest that joins us
here at the Rusty Spurr. If you've ridden with us
before we hope you come visit us again soon, and if
you've never been here before we hope you'll give
us the opportunity to (as so many of our guests have
said) "spoil you" with a ride you won't soon forget.
