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!

Establish breeding service routine with stallion

  1. Establish routine for initial services to take place in the morning and afternoon to best replicate normal peak stallion hormone cycle
  2. Ensure stallion handling equipment and preparation for serving is replicable to reinforce routine
  3. Teach stallion to allow penis to be handled for wash-down prior to and after service, and to assist in penetration of vagina or artificial vagina according to workplace practices
  4. Observe stallion penis for signs of injury prior to and after service
  5. Record observations of behavioural changes and signs of illness or injury

Work with stallion during breeding season

  1. Establish a routine that makes being with handler a calm and quiet place
  2. Ensure the serving area is safe for handlers and horses, including informing others of breeding or collection activity to keep activity at a minimum
  3. Communicate information clearly about covering process to other team members
  4. Introduce stallion to mare
  5. Teach stallion only to mount when both the mare (or dummy) and stallion are ready
  6. Teach stallion to approach the mare (or dummy) from her near side hind quarter
  7. Teach stallion to back away from mare once ejaculated, and return to yard or stable
