It is the right of every Equestrian Canada (EC) sport license holder to propose amendments to the rules, subject to the current policies, procedures and schedules.

Earlier this year EC sport license holders were invited to submit suggestions for 2016 rule changes. These were reviewed by discipline experts and the EC National Rules Committee. The 2017 Rule Change Proposals (RCPs) are now posted for public comment.

RCPs will be posted on the Equestrian Canada Rules page for a 30-day review and comment period. During this time EC encourages competitors, officials and coaches to read the proposals and offer comment. The deadline for member comments is Friday, October 28.

The EC will consider pertinent comments and modify/correct/withdraw any RCPs requiring attention priorpublication of the 2017 rules.

Finalized rule changes will be posted on the EC website A notice to EC sport license holders will advise of the availability of the 2017 Rules of Equestrian Canada.
