Eventing Course Assistant
Equireel is an equine media company that focuses on the equestrian sport of Eventing with a particular emphasis on the cross country phase. We place a network of cameras at each obstacle over the 5km course to capture every rider at every fence. Equireel cover events across the USA.
We’re looking for someone to join us as a partner to manage and run our US operations. This is more than a role, we’re looking for someone who will drive our US business, in return we will be providing a profit share agreement to the right candidate. This will be on top of the event pay per event.
This role will involve attending equestrian events along the Eastern Seaboard for Equireel and we will also seek to attend events with our sister company Trekreel which films at mountain biking events.
A willingness to travel will be essential.
Experience at Equestrian events is a bonus and experience with cameras is not required. Full training will be provided.
We will aim to attend 20 events throughout the year, so there is plenty of capacity to have additional work alongside this role. 90% of events will be on the weekend (Fri-Sun), with a couple of exceptions like the American Eventing Championships which take place over a week.
A Typical Weekend Event involves:
Friday afternoon
-Travel to the event

Saturday

-Bring in all cameras at the end of the day
