The Freelance Remuda Cohort: Launching an Equine Media Career

Are you a horse-loving communications, journalism or agricultural communications major looking at your future post-graduation? Whether you’re contemplating a fulltime job in equine media, or wanting to dip your toe into freelancing, the Freelance Remuda has everything you need to help you achieve your goal.

With the Freelance Remuda Cohort, you’ll join a handful of other college students in a three-month course where you will meet online once a month, in three sessions designed to prepare you to apply for equine media jobs or pitch work as a freelancer for equine media or brands.

During this cohort you will:

• Take inventory of your skills and learn what is needed

• Build a portfolio and online presence

• Craft pitches

• Discover how to find job postings and potential clients.

 In addition to online sessions, you will gain access to a closed Facebook group with your cohort and have access to email support. You will also receive feedback from your instructors on your portfolio and pitches.

Meet your mentors

Your guides are Abigail Boatwright and Kate Bradley Byars, co-founders of The Freelance Remuda podcast and community. We each have 20 years of experience in equine media as writers, photographers, magazine editors and content creators; and have each spent over a decade as freelancers. We know what content buyers at equine brands want from job applicants and freelancers, and we want to help you get into an equine media career.

Cost: $399

Start: This cohort begins in January and concludes in March. We have timed it to help you prepare for an internship, a post-graduation career, or to begin freelance work.

Space is limited to 5 participants for a close-knit community and access to your instructors.
