Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ACMEQU302 - Apply knowledge of minimising impact of falling from a horse

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Outline riding practices to avoid the risk of falling

  1. Review industry research to identify different types of horse fall accidents and common injuries
  2. Identify the process for assessing horse suitability prior to riding
  3. Outline the role of fitness and pre-safety checks in avoiding falls
  4. Recognise the importance and basic biomechanics of balance in maintaining control of horses while riding
  5. Identify situations that can increase the risk of falls and injuries from falling from a horse
  6. Conduct a self-assessment of own riding skills, experience and comfort zone

Identify and describe techniques to minimise the risk of a potential fall

  1. Interpret and describe horse behaviour prior to mounting
  2. Identify techniques for mounting and dismounting a horse in different situations and the associated risks
  3. Identify ways to maintain balance of rider and control of a horse in different scenarios
  4. Recognise how to slow and stop horses when travelling too fast
  5. Recognise ways to manage a horse demonstrating undesirable behaviours
  6. Identify how to complete and when to apply an emergency stop
  7. Review a range of difficult riding scenarios and suggest strategies for dealing with them

Outline the theory behind reducing the impact of falls from horses

  1. Identify the impact of response and reaction times associated with falls from horses
  2. Recognise actions to take when a fall seems imminent, including releasing reins, removing feet from stirrups and preparing to dismount
  3. Outline the basic techniques for landing, rolling and tumbling in different fall scenarios
  4. Identify actions to take immediately after a fall, including checking for injuries and checking the horse
