What an assessment for SISOEQU012 must cover

24 assessable components: 2 elements (8 performance criteria), 4 performance evidence and 9 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 3 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Identify the impact of conformation on horse performance.

1.1Identify the functions of the respiratory, circulatory, musculoskeletal, digestive, nervous and reproductive systems in horse performance.
1.2Identify connection between horse conformation, performance and soundness.

2 Assess horse suitability for intended use.

2.1Identify intended sport or recreational use and performance requirements of horses.
2.2Use safe practices and follow organisational safety procedures during horse assessment to avoid injury to self, others and horse.
2.3Examine horses for functional conformation and observe movement.
2.4Identify functional conformation faults and potential to affect performance of horses.
2.5Assess suitability of individual horses for different sport or recreational uses according to their conformation and movement.
2.6Evaluate and complete written reports on performance potential for intended sport or recreational use.

Performance evidence

develop a portfolio of information on the key features and functions of the following anatomical and physiological horse systems and their role in effective horse performance : respiratory system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, nervous system, reproductive system for male and female horses
assess three different horses for conformation and movement suitable for their sport or recreational purpose and cumulatively use the following techniques: visual and physical examination, flexion test, observing the horse being ridden, observing the horse being trotted up
during all horse assessments, consistently use safe horse handling practices
write a brief report, on each of the three horses, to include: intended sport or recreational use and performance requirements, description of horse including age, breed, height, functional conformation assessment, positive and negative features, any indicators of horse unsoundness, evaluation of potential performance problems, recommendations on the suitability of the horse for particular sport or recreational activities and performance requirements.

Knowledge evidence

organisational safety procedures for handling horses
safe horse handling and restraint techniques specific to examining horses for movement and conformation
points of a horse and correct terminology
key features and functions of the following anatomical and physiological horse systems and their role in effective horse performance: respiratory system, circulatory system, musculoskeletal system, digestive system, nervous system, reproductive systems of male and female horses
features and factors of horse anatomy and physiology used to determine the suitability of individual horses for different sport or recreational purposes
functional horse conformation to perform well in a range of sport or recreational activities
common conformation faults for sport or recreational horses and the effects on horse movement, soundness and performance
examination techniques used to assess horse movement and conformation: visual and physical examination, flexion test, riding or driving the horse; observing horse being ridden or driven, trotting up the horse; observing horse being trotted up, lunging the horse or observing horse being lunged
meaning of horse soundness and indicators of unsoundness that can be observed during horse movement and conformation examinations.

Foundation skills

Reading skills to:: interpret detailed familiar organisational procedures for assessment of horse performance.
Writing skills to:: develop reports on horse assessments containing factual and conceptual information using correct terminology to describe anatomy, physiology and condition.
Oral communication skills to:: provide unambiguous descriptions of horse conformation issues using complex anatomical and physiological terminology.

Questions about assessing SISOEQU012

What does an assessment tool for SISOEQU012 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SISOEQU012 needs to address all 24 unit components: 2 elements with 8 performance criteria, 4 performance evidence requirements, 9 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for SISOEQU012?

Auditori pulls the current release of SISOEQU012 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for SISOEQU012 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SISOEQU012 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of SISOEQU012, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
