Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify equine musculoskeletal structural characteristics and relate their impact to horse movement.The unit applies to individuals who require highly specialised knowledge for their work in the equine industry and communicate information to others.No licensing or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication, except for the racing industry, where requirements vary between states and territories.Users working in the racing industry are advised to contact the relevant Principal Racing Authority for advice on current requirements.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.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine structural characteristics of the equine musculoskeletal system
  • Interpret terminology describing the anatomical and physiological features and planes of the body
  • Determine the operation of the musculoskeletal system in relation to body stability, movement, power and stamina
  • Identify the structure and types of bones and joints, and relate them to their purpose
  • Determine the structure and types of soft tissues and the relationship of ligaments and tendons to the musculoskeletal system
       
Element: Locate equine muscles and supporting tissues related to equine locomotion, power and stamina and determine their function
  • Locate deep and superficial muscles of significance to power and locomotion
  • Define muscle actions, origin and insertion points
  • Identify tendons and ligaments of significance to power and locomotion
       
Element: Define changes in the equine musculoskeletal system due to growth and performance
  • Determine changes to bone due to age, exercise, ailments and injury
  • Determine changes to soft tissues as a result of growth, exercise, ailments and injury
  • Identify impact of overtraining and injury on the musculoskeletal system
  • Identify changes to hooves and feet that can occur as a result of growth, exercise, ailments and injury
  • Communicate information to others using anatomical, physiological and industry terminology

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
