-A little about us: small (17-horse) H/J show barn located in beautiful Charleston, SC. Our youngest client is 6, and our oldest is 60 so we have a wide range of students. Sadly, our current AMAZING barn manager is leaving us for a corporate office job : ((
-What kind of people are we looking for? RESPONSIBLE, RELIABLE, and HONEST are the key words! We are looking for someone who works hard and is a problem solver and team player.
