Massage Therapist - Horse Ranch Job Opening

Move out of the city and come work and live in a

beautiful mountain valley!

Our professional and licensed massage therapist at Red Horse Mountain Ranch plays a very special and unique role. In the mornings they may be helping out the Wranglers at the barn saddling or possibly join the Hospitality Team perfecting the perfect sheet tuck in the cabins. Then, in the afternoons they will find themselves in their private massage room located in our beautiful ranch valley working with our guests who have booked a massage. Our guests come here to "Reconnect to the Important Things of a Life Well-Lived" and the massage therapist plays a very fulfilling role in that. Providing a quiet place to relax and unwind from their busy lives, the massage therapist helps our guests receive that much needed "me time" they require to disconnect.

We value our massage therapist because our guests come here to find some peace and what better way to get that than booking a massage? We need our massage therapist to be a people person truly interested in exceeding expectations. Our guests love that even though they are far away from city amenities they can still pamper themselves with a spa-like experience after getting dirty and sore at the barn.
