As a Wrangler, you are a primary representative of Ranchlands and Zapata Ranch for guests, and you must be warm, gracious, education and guest experience-focused, able to think on your feet at all times, and present an authentic Western appearance. Your primary duties will be to guide guests on horseback rides throughout the ranch and Great Sand Dunes National Park; educate them about all aspects of the ranch, surrounding area, and Ranchlands’ mission; help with care of our 60+ head horse herd under guidance of the Programs Manager; and assist as needed with other aspects of Zapata’s hospitality programs. Safety is our number one concern, followed closely by ensuring that all of our guests have the best possible stay and educational experience at Zapata.
While this is a seasonal position, for the right candidate this is a great gateway to future opportunities within Ranchlands and its wider hospitality operations. We value people who are passionate about the work they do and want to join a wider community of people dedicated to agriculture, conservation, education, and hospitality.
