PATRON Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette,C.C., C.M.M., C.O.M., C.Q., C.D., Governor General of Canada THE EQUESTRIAN CANADA RULEBOOK Knowledge of the rules of any sport is required of each participant, and the exhibitor at an EC-sanctioned competition must accept this responsibility. Both a complete knowledge of and compliance with the rules are essential, and all participants must be fully cognizant of all rules as well as particular class specifications in the discipline/breed sport in which they compete. It is not possible to provide for every conceivable eventuality in these rules. If there is no rule to deal specifically with a particular circumstance, or if the nearest interpretation of the pertinent rule would result in an obvious injustice, it is the duty of those responsible to make a decision based on common sense and fair play, thus reflecting as closely as possible the intention of the rules and regulations of Equestrian Canada. Organization of the Rulebook The EC Rulebook is divided into multiple sections, grouped by disciplines and breed sports. Section A covers general regulations that apply to all EC members, competitors, officials, owners, equines, organizers and persons responsible unless superseded in other sections of the Rulebook. Evergreen Rules Process The Equestrian Canada rulebooks are updated annually, effective January 1st . The official rulebook will be as published on the EC website and may be amended as follows. Amendment of the Rules It is the right of everysport licence holder of Equestrian Canada to propose amendments to the rules, subject to the current policies, procedures and schedules. The deadline for Rule Change Suggestions (RCS) shall be May each31 year in accordance with the procedures outlined on the EC Rule Change page. Suggestions will be reviewed by the appropriate discipline/breed sportEC committees who will consider all suggestions and put forward those they recommend as Rule Change Proposals (RCPs).
