The standard we hold every worker to.
Five steps stand between an applicant and your barn aisle. We would not send anyone to your horses we would not send to our own.
Five steps. In order. Every time.
-
Application and screening interview
Before anything else
Every worker applies and sits for a screening interview. We learn their barn experience, the horses they have worked with and how they think about safety.
- Written application
- Screening interview with our team
-
Two professional references
Equine or professional
We call two references. Barn managers, trainers or professional supervisors who can speak to reliability and how the person works.
- Two references, contacted directly
- Equine or professional background
-
Background check
Before your first placement
Every worker clears a background check before their first placement. No exceptions.
- Completed before the first placement
- No placement without a clear check
-
Horse handling assessment
In person, with horses
We see how a worker catches, leads, ties and moves around horses. Comfort and judgment, not just willingness.
- Haltering, leading and tying
- Reading a horse and staying safe
-
Trial shift evaluation
With barn feedback
A trial shift at a working barn, followed by feedback from that barn. Only then does a worker join placements.
- A real shift, real chores
- Written feedback from the barn
Why we are this strict.
Your horses cannot tell you who was in the barn today. So we check.
We run a boarding barn and founded an equine rescue. We have trusted strangers with horses we love. This process is what we wanted from anyone we let into our own aisle.
Help you can trust with your horses.
Book a vetted worker. We confirm within one business day.
