I am writing to apply for the position of Wrangler at your ranch.
Zach and Jenica Taylor, my aunt and uncle who live in Laie, and Kenzie Volksen who formerly worked at Gunstock and whom I work with currently at South Valley Large Animal Clinic, informed me of this position and told me I would be a great fit. I believe I have all the qualifications you are looking for. I appreciate your willingness to read this and consider me for this position.
As the enclosed resume states, I have a lot of experience handling
and caring for animals of all sizes and have been doing so for several years. I began riding by myself at the age of four. I have trained and exercised horses and taught riding lessons for other people for a few years. I have been able to work longhorn cattle for several years down in Southern Utah. The days are long and the work is tough; tracking cattle, herding them to pens, sorting, branding, castrating, tagging and pushing them back to pasture or often to their spring, summer or winter pastures. I have ridden horses up to 72 miles in 3 days and my first one was in 2011, it has been a lot of fun and very rewarding. I have also been fortunate enough to have been working at South Valley Large Animal Clinic for the last several months, While working there, I have learned so many new skills, I have learned how to give medications both orally, intravenously and intramuscularly, how to draw blood and run blood tests, how to scrub joints, how to clean dress and prep most wounds and preoperative surfaces and I know how to take temperature and basic health tests for horses. While having all these duties and responsibilities, I have learned responsibility, how to manage my time better, be more open-minded and willing to learn, how to be a better horsewoman, how to be positive and manage stressful situations better and how to be punctual and how to pay better attention to details and instructions and I am more than willing to learn all that I can in this position. Thank you again for your consideration for this position. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at (801) 694-1320.
