STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLE

Equestrian Canada (EC), the national equestrian federation of Canada, supports adherence to

humane treatment of horses in all activities under its jurisdiction.

• EC is committed to:

• Upholding the welfare of the horses, regardless of value, as a primary consideration in all

• activities;

• Requiring that horses be treated with kindness, respect and the compassion that they deserve,

• and that they never be subjected to mistreatment;

• Ensuring that owners, trainers and exhibitors or their agents use responsible care in the

• handling, treatment and transportation of their horses as well as horses placed in their care for

• any purpose;

• Providing for the continuous well-being of horses by encouraging routine inspection and

• consultation with health care professionals and competition officials to achieve the highest

• possible standards of nutrition, health, comfort and safety as a matter of standard operating

• procedure;

• Continuing to support scientific studies on equine health and welfare;

• Increasing education in training and horsemanship practices;

• Requiring owners, trainers and exhibitors to know and follow their sanctioning organization’s

• rules, and to work within industry regulations in all equestrian competition;

• Reviewing, revising and developing competition rules and regulations that protect the welfare

• of the horses.

The standard by which conduct, or treatment will be measured is that which a person, informed and

experienced in generally accepted equine training and exhibition procedures, would determine to be

neither cruel, abusive, nor inhumane.

“Per Article A801 every entry at an EC-sanctioned competition shall constitute an agreement by the person responsible that the owner,

lessee, trainer, manager, agent, coach, driver or rider and horse shall be subject to the EC constitution and all rules of EC and any

additional rules set by the competition. It is the responsibility of all individuals participating in any capacity in EC sanctioned

competitions to be knowledgeable regarding the EC constitution and the applicable rules of EC and the additional rules, if any,

imposed by the competition. Do not participate in this EC- sanctioned competition in any capacity if you do not consent to be bound

by the constitution and rules of EC and any additional rules imposed by the competition.”
