1 Share of the horse breeder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the groom profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A horse breeder role treats 10 of its required skills as things a groom already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise horse owners on farriery requirements
  • animal nutrition
  • animal welfare legislation
  • assist animal birth
  • control animal movement
  • equine dental diseases

What stands in the way is 22 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horse breeder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a groom background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held advise horse owners on farriery requirements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held equine dental diseases agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held train horses handling and moving
  • already held assist animal birth handling and moving
  • already held livestock reproduction agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held livestock species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 10 carried skills, including the 10 the horse breeder role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 35 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
