Music Upload Instructions

Note: Music uploads will be closed at end-of-day on May 21st.

Before you begin, ensure that you have all of your music organized as follows:
1. All music must be .MP3 files – other formats cannot be accepted.
  1. Although this may be a hassle, this is done to minimize the risk of your music not working at the competition.
  2. If your current music files are not .MP3 files, you must convert them or find someone to help you.
  3. If this proves impossible, please bring your music to the competition on a standard Audio CD (not as computer files) clearly labeled and one CD per Ring. Please have backup copies with you as well.
2. Your Run-in music must have the word “Run-in” or Runin” as part of the file name. Obviously, other non-run-in music should not :)
  1. You may, if you like, have more than one Run-in music track, but we do not encourage it. If you have more than one, please clearly label in the name what the difference is, such as “Run-in Ring A.mp3” vs. “Run-in Ring B.mp3”
3. All other music files should be named something recognizable and applicable; nothing fancy, not too long, just so that it makes sense.
Log into the VaultCanada.org website with the account the club’s entries where created under.
1. If the person who created the entries is not uploading the music, please have the music upload person create an account on the website (if not already created) and then email [email protected] requesting that this person be added to your club’s permissions. Please CC the other person involved.
After you first log into the website, you will be viewing your “My Competitions” page, click on your Club’s entry link for this competition.
Click on the Music tab near the top of the screen
Upload your files one at a time by clicking the Browse button, select the file, and then click the Upload button.
Confirm for each file, after upload, that the Size of the file is what you would expect. A size of 0 would be bad. You can click on the file name to download/play the file to test it.
After your music files are all uploaded, scroll down the the heading of "Detected Run-in Music" and confirm that your Run-in music is listed correctly.
Finally, for each competitor's Go, select the music file that should be played from the drop down list. Once each has been selected, be sure to click the Save Changes button at the very bottom.
You can make changes as you wish. If you Delete a music file that has already been assigned, note that it will appear in bold red text where it has been used. Please be sure to select the new correct file and again click on the Save Changes button.
When making further changes, you only need to select from the drop down list for the changes you are making; leave the rest of them blank for no change to that item.
Although we will be testing all submitted music on the ring-side computers in advance, please bring a backup of all your music with you as .MP3 files on a memory stick or on standard audio CDs. Someone from your club must have these readily available in case of a problem, and at the discretion of the ground jury.

Equine Canada (EC), the national equestrian federation of Canada, supports adherence to humane treatment of horses in all competitions under its jurisdiction.

Statement of Principles per article A801

The EC is committed to:

Upholding the welfare of 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, sanitation and safety as a matter of standard operating procedure;

Continuing to support scientific studies on equine health and welfare;

Increasing education and 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 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.
