Manage horse pastures
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to plan, manage and maintain land used for a horse operation. The unit focuses on minimising the impact horses have on soils and land capability while maximising horse welfare.
This unit is applicable to individuals who have specialised skills, and technical and theoretical knowledge and responsibilities for pasture and land management for a horse breeding operation.
No occupational licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Work health and safety and animal welfare legislation relevant to interacting with horses applies to workers in this industry. Requirements vary between industry sectors and state/territory jurisdictions. Users are advised to check with the relevant authority for specific requirements.
NOTE: The terms 'occupational health and safety' (OHS) and 'work health and safety' (WHS) generally have the same meaning in the workplace. In jurisdictions where the national model WHS legislation has not been implemented, RTOs must contextualise the unit of competency by referring to current OHS legislative requirements.
