  • Minimum 3 years of paid trail guiding experience with a reputable outfitter.
  • Strong equine knowledge, including daily care, basic veterinary care, western riding instruction, and safety protocols.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with both staff and guests.

  • MM slash DD slash YYYY


Each year our 90+ member ranches offer a variety of dude ranch employment opportunities. They hire many seasonal employees, and some year-round employees, for such positions as wranglers, cooks, waitstaff, housekeepers, maintenance workers, children’s counselors, office workers, and more! Other great opportunities are presented through working at a Dude Ranchers’ Association member ranch like being eligible for The Dude Ranch Foundation Scholarship. The Dude Ranch Foundation is committed to investing in future leaders in the dude ranch industry. The DRF Scholarship Program provides financial assistance and encouragement to students pursuing an educational program that will help perpetuate the dude ranch industry and Western Culture. To learn more about The Dude Ranch Foundation Scholarship program, click here: https://www.duderanchfoundation.org/scholarship-application/. The deadline for scholarships is March 15th every year, so be sure to get the application done early!

Most seasonal employees are hired by the Southern ranches for the months of September through May and by the Northern ranches for the months of May through October. Many Northern ranches have last-minute openings during the months of May and June.

The compensation for each position is at each ranch’s discretion and will be discussed prior to hiring. Jobs on dude ranches typically involve hard work and long hours as well as participation in evening guest activities such as line dances, hayrides, and staff talent shows. Good people skills and an ability to live and work well with others are required. The more flexible you are in the type of position you would like, the more likely you are to be successful.

Recommendation for Dude Ranch Employment Opportunities

Non-U.S. Citizens:

Employment opportunities on ranches for non-U.S. citizens can be extremely limited. Individuals must contact the ranches individually to see if they are willing to hire non-U.S. citizens. Individuals must also have a work permit for the U.S.A. Please contact the U.S. Embassy for information on work permits. The Dude Ranchers’ Association is not able to help in obtaining work permits for those looking for dude ranch employment opportunities.

Student Internships:

U.S. students often contact the Association seeking internship positions. The Dude Ranchers’ Association has no formal internship program but a number of our member ranchers have been willing to negotiate with students for internship positions as a part of their seasonal employment. Students interested in such positions may utilize the opportunities listed below and are encouraged to research DRA member ranches and reach out to them directly about internship opportunities.

Options for DRA Assistance in Seeking Dude Ranch Employment

To assist the many students and others seeking employment, the Association is offering the following services:

  1. Upon request, we will send the Dude Ranchers’ Association Directory. All 90+ member ranches are listed, along with their contact information. Interested individuals may contact each ranch themselves.
  2. The Dude Rancher’s Association also publishes a bi-weekly newsletter that includes the most recent job listings. Please sign up for this when the pop-up comes on to the screen on the Careers page.
