The term "Manager" is generally NOT used alone, but in tandem with some other word as shown below. These positions are commonly "hands-on" "working" positions, although they may include an administrative component in some cases. Experience is required.
Barn Manager, Working Barn Manager
The term Barn Manager is used to
describe widely varying positions. Some Barn Managers are responsible
for the total daily operation of a small farm or stable, whereas others
may be responsible for one barn, such as the show barn, on a larger operation.
Experience is required. Barn Managers may be responsible for ordering
feed and supplies, scheduling the vet and farrier, record keeping, and
related administrative duties. In addition, Barn Managers are frequently
expected to handle routine health maintenance (immunizations, deworming,
etc.) and handle medications and injury care under the supervision of the
veterinarian. If there is a staff, supervision of help may be required.
Client relations and sales may be part of the responsibilities. A
Barn Manager position may also include duties of any of the following: Trainer, Assistant
Trainer, Instructor, Breeding
Farm Assistant, Maintenance Person, Groom, Stable
Help.
Farm Manager, Working Farm Manager
On smaller operations, this position
may be identical to a Barn Manager position. On larger operations,
a Farm Manager generally carries more responsibility for the entire operation
including supervision of staff and departments, financial responsibilities,
long range planning, sales, client relations, and more. See Barn
Manager.
Stable Manager
A Stable Manager position is for all practical purposes
identical to a Barn Manager position. Some employers feel that the
word "stable" is a bit more sophisticated than the word "barn," making
Stable Manager a good alternate title. See Barn
Manager.
