What an assessment for SISOEQU009 must cover

66 assessable components: 5 elements (24 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 21 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 4 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 Plan instructional sessions.

  • 1.1Determine objectives of individual sessions to allow progression of skills within overall learning program.
  • 1.2Identify and evaluate participant needs, characteristics and current riding skills.
  • 1.3Develop session plans to include appropriate exercises for learner requirements and stage of skills acquisition.
  • 1.4Identify suitable environment and equipment for riding session.
  • 1.5Complete session specific risk assessment and determine safety, emergency response and first aid procedures.

2 Prepare tack, horses and participants.

  • 2.1Set up equipment for exercises and complete safety checks on environment and equipment.
  • 2.2Select horses of suitable history, size and temperament to match participant capabilities.
  • 2.3Check participants’ own personal equipment and tack, if provided, and confirm it is in safe working condition.
  • 2.4Select organisation’s tack and personal equipment to match riders and exercises, and check it is in safe working condition.
  • 2.5Assist participants to fit and adjust tack and personal equipment; check comfort and safety of fit.

  • 3.2Encourage participants to ask questions and seek advice before and during session.
  • 3.3Inform participants of known and anticipated risks, safety procedures, safe behaviour, safe areas and boundaries.
  • 3.4Advise participants of communication protocols to use during exercises.

4 Instruct horse riding sessions.

  • 4.1Supervise mounting of horses and prepare horses and participants using safe warm up exercises.
  • 4.2Implement teaching and coaching techniques to impart skills and knowledge to advance learners’ riding skills.
  • 4.3Provide clear and accurate exercise instructions and or demonstrations throughout the session.
  • 4.4Facilitate effective group communication and interaction to maintain group control, engagement and safety.
  • 4.5Observe and monitor participant riding performance and provide corrective instruction.

  • 5.1Debrief and encourage participants to identify personal skill progression and satisfaction with session.
  • 5.2Provide feedback on techniques and adherence to safety requirements.
  • 5.3Self-evaluate session against learning objectives and identify areas for future improvement.

Performance evidence

  • develop three session plans for three different horse riding instructional sessions
  • deliver three instructional sessions according to the session plans developed:
  • deliver one session to a single learner rider
  • deliver two sessions to a group of minimum two and maximum six learners
  • across the three instructional sessions, cumulatively incorporate exercises to advance the riders’ use of:
  • posture and position in the saddle
  • gaits, transitions and movements
  • lateral and reverse movements
  • control over horse pace, outline and response to cues to effect accuracy of movements and turns at walk, trot and canter
  • adjustment to use of aids relative to horse training and responsiveness:
  • legs
  • rein
  • seat
  • communication and reward based education techniques for particular horse behaviour
  • during all instructional activities:
  • consistently control participant adherence to safety procedures
  • consistently monitor and control horse behaviour

Knowledge evidence

  • organisational safety, emergency response and first aid procedures for horse riding instructional sessions
  • requirements of overall learning program and how sessions are sequenced to progressively develop riding skills
  • particular to instructing the advancement of recreational riding skills:
  • suitable environments for delivery of instructional riding exercises
  • purpose, features and safe set up of equipment used for exercises
  • factors that affect the selection of tack and personal protective equipment to suit riders and exercises
  • communication protocols used between participants, instructors and horses during instructional sessions
  • teaching and coaching techniques used to advance skills for horse riding
  • current scientific research on equine learning ability, how horses learn and recommended reward based education techniques, at a fundamental level of understanding
  • a range of instructional exercises used to advance riders’ use of:
  • posture and position in the saddle
  • gaits, transitions and movements
  • lateral and reverse movements
  • control over horse pace, outline and response to cues to effect accuracy of movements and turns at walk, trot and canter
  • adjustment to use of aids relative to horse training and responsiveness:
  • legs
  • rein
  • seat
  • communication and reward based education techniques for particular horse behaviour
  • common behavioural problems of horses during group rides
  • techniques used to control adverse horse behaviour while maintaining welfare of the horse and safety of rider

Foundation skills

  • Reading skills to:: interpret detailed familiar organisational safety, emergency response and first aid procedures.
  • Writing skills to:: prepare detailed session plans incorporating correct terminology and jargon for the exercises use fundamental sentence structure to complete safety checklists that require factual information.
  • Oral communication skills to:: provide clear and unambiguous instructions to learners using language and terms easily understood by riders ask open and closed probe questions and actively listen to determine learners’ understanding of riding techniques.
  • Planning and organising skills to:: manage own timing and that of participants to complete instructional sessions within organisational service times..

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for SISOEQU009 needs to address all 66 unit components: 5 elements with 24 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 21 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 SISOEQU009?

Auditori pulls the current release of SISOEQU009 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 SISOEQU009 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing SISOEQU009 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 SISOEQU009, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
