Qualification Description

This qualification reflects the role of individuals working as a driving stablehand involved in the daily operations of a harness racing stable where they care for and exercise standardbred horses.

This qualification is required for industry licensing and registration in some states and territories. Users are advised to check with the relevant Principal Racing Authority for current requirements.
