This unit of competency supports trainers and others to select horses for racing.
The unit focuses on the competencies associated with preparing horses of various ages and abilities for Australian racing programs. Harness and thoroughbred racing occurs under different conditions consequently when performance criteria are applied they will relate to harness or thoroughbred horses and statements of attainment for this unit 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 evaluate the conformation, temperament, pedigree, general health, performance and previous history of horses to determine their suitability for racing.
This unit of competency operates in work environments of racing stables, paddocks, yards, racecourses and public areas.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
