Equine video that works around the horse
Horses set the pace on any shoot. A sale day runs to a timetable. Equine videography needs a crew that's calm around both.
We've livestreamed thoroughbred sales for Inglis, covered race days at Royal Randwick for the Australian Turf Club, and made a brand story for Equine Pathways Australia. Our crew came up through live broadcast news, so a long day with one chance at every moment feels normal.

How we work
How a job runs, step by step.
Five stages, all handled. You brief us once and give your feedback. We run the rest.
01 Your part
Brief
Tell us the goal, the audience and the deadline once. Jess turns it into a scope, a plan and a fixed quote, so you know what you’re getting before anything is locked in.
- One clear brief, no back and forth
- A fixed quote up front, itemised
- One point of contact, start to finish
02 We handle it
Pre-production
We plan the shoot, shape the key messages with you, build the shot lists and lock the call sheet before anyone films. Locations, talent and logistics are handled, and we coach anyone nervous about being on camera.
- Scripts, shot lists and a clear call sheet
- Locations, talent and logistics sorted
- On-camera coaching for your people
03 We handle it
The shoot
An experienced crew runs the day to the call sheet and settles people on camera fast. Broadcast-grade cameras, audio and lighting, with backups for the backups. We came up through live news, so calm under pressure is the default.
- Experienced crew runs the day
- Broadcast-grade kit, backed up
- Calm on set, solved on the fly
04 Your part
Post-production
We edit and finish, then send the cut through Frame.io so you comment straight on the frame. Two rounds of changes are built in. Social cutdowns are planned from the start, so one shoot works everywhere.
- Frame.io review, two rounds built in
- Social cutdowns from one shoot
05 We handle it
Delivery
You get the final files in the formats you need, ready to go across every channel. They’re yours to use anywhere, for as long as you like.
- Every format you need, delivered
- You own the final files
- Nothing left for you to manage
Thoroughbred sale livestreams
We livestream thoroughbred sales for Inglis, including the Chairman's Sale, the Classic Sale and Ready2Race.
That's multi-camera coverage of the sale, with a preview show before the first lot and a review show after. The crew bumps in ahead of sale day for a full run-through. See how we run livestreaming in Sydney.
Race days and carnivals
For the Australian Turf Club we've filmed race day highlights at Royal Randwick, the Everest Carnival campaign across Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens, and a sponsor film for The Kosciuszko.
On race day the racing comes first: the mounting yard, the jockeys, the run to the line and the trophy. Then the fashion, the marquees and the crowd. It's the same approach we bring to all our event videography in Sydney.
Brand stories for studs and equestrian programs
Equine Pathways Australia creates a pathway into equestrian sport for riders with disability. We filmed across the property over a working day: coaching in the indoor arena, riders supported into the saddle, the stables and the office behind it.
The riders tell the story, and drone videography places the property in the landscape. The same approach works for a stud, a breeder or a riding school. Read more on brand story video.
Why Zarco Creative for equine video
Our crew came up through live broadcast news at Network Ten, Seven and Nine. A sale ring or a race meeting works the same way: there's no second take. We plan around the horses, the handlers and the timetable. And because we do the whole production, you get finished video, not a drive of raw clips. One team, from the stable to the sale ring.

What clients say.
I’m really relaxed. Even the events I’m not present at, I’m not worried at all.
They make our attendees feel comfortable on camera, find solutions and ways to maximise on content during the day.
I had a partner, not a supplier. They were truly part of the team.
Got horses to film?
Tell us the date and the property. We'll come back with a fixed quote, usually within one business day.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
Do you film horses outside Sydney?
Yes. Studs, sales and race meetings often sit outside the city, in the Hunter Valley and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate, and travel is priced into the quote up front.
Can you livestream a horse sale?
Yes. We livestream thoroughbred sales for Inglis, with multi-camera coverage of the sale and preview and review shows around it. See livestreaming for how a livestream day runs.
Can you film sale horses at the farm?
Yes. We can film horses at the property ahead of a sale, ready for the catalogue, the vendor's socials and buyers who can't inspect in person. Tell us how many horses and where, and we'll quote it.
Can you add drone footage of the property or the track?
Yes. Aerials show the size of a property or a racecourse in a few seconds. Our CASA licensed pilots fly as part of the same shoot. See drone videography.
How much does equine videography cost?
It depends on the shoot days, the travel and the edit. A sale livestream is a bigger crew than a single day at a stud. We send a fixed quote before you book. See the cost guide for what a shoot day runs.
What do you need from us to quote?
Not much. The date, the property or venue, and what the video is for. A few lines is plenty. If something's missing, Jess will call and ask rather than send you a form. You'll hear back within one business day.
Across Sydney and greater NSW.
Based in Sydney, filming right across the city and beyond. We travel across NSW and interstate for the right job.
