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!

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

Research key features of horse conformation

  1. Analyse and report on the conformation of horses using objective, standard conformation terminology
  2. Observe and identify desirable conformation of horses relevant to breed standard or performance discipline
  3. Observe and identify unsoundness and blemishes of horses
  4. Identify the essential elements of the movement of the horse relevant to breed standard and performance discipline
