This unit of competency supports senior stablehands, trainers and others authorised to participate in implementing exercise programs for racehorses.
Competencies attained in this unit apply to the harness and thoroughbred codes of the industry. Consequently when performance criteria are applied they will relate to the harness or thoroughbred code and statements of attainment will reflect this distinction.
This unit can be contextualised for other industries while also maintaining the integrity of the unit.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to relate the principles of education and conditioning to the fitness and skill requirements of racing horses, put into action the trainer's exercise program, monitor and report to the trainer the horses' responses to the program, and comply with rules of racing and animal welfare responsibilities and related protocols.
This unit also requires the practical care and management of harness or thoroughbred racing horses and the application of OHS standards in the workplace.
This unit of competency operates in workplace environments of racing stables, paddocks, yards, racecourses and public areas.
