Issue Date: April 2024
This unit is applicable to those working in a range of equine industries where farriery services are provided. Tools are made by hand by the farrier when commercially unavailable or when commercially available tools are deemed to be unsuitable for the specific purpose identified.
In addition to legal and ethical responsibilities, all units of competency in the ACM10 Animal Care and Management Training Package have the requirement for animals to be handled gently and calmly. The individual is required to exhibit appropriate care for animals so that stress and discomfort is minimised.
This unit of competency covers the processes required to maintain, repair and make a variety of tools used in standard farriery workplaces.
This unit forms part of the requirements of the trade qualification for farriery.
