Important Information about this Competition

All information about this show will be posted here on this website at VaultCanada.ca .

This competition is a qualifying vaulting competition for the 2015 BC Heritage Finals.

This competition is NOT a qualifying vaulting competition for future BC Summer Games, as it is outside of the qualification window.

Official Rules & Class Info

All mounted classes will follow the Horse Council BC Rules for Vaulting. Every class offered herein is covered by the rules and specifications of the current rules of Horse Council BC and will be held and judged in accordance with the Horse Council BC Rules Book. Exhibitors are responsible for knowledge of the rules under which they are competing.

All individual Walk, Trot, and Canter classes will be offered with two rounds, and with separate goes for compulsories and freestyle in each round. The second round is optional and entered as a separate class: considering horse use rules, we understand that not all vaulters will be able to do the second round. All Squads and Pairs classes will be offered with one round, with separate goes for compulsories and freestyle.

Barrel classes will be 1 minute for individual, 90 seconds for doubles, and 3 minutes for team. Only one barrel ("Colin's" barrel) will be available. A mini trampoline will be available. Barrel classes will be conducted according to the Equestrian Vaulting Association of BC Recommendations for Barrel Classes at Vaulting Events.

Please ensure that each vaulter is eligible for the selected class(es) by referring to the eligibility rules set forth in the Vaulting Rules. If you are unsure about the eligibility of a vaulter for a given class please contact the event organizers.

Cross Entering - We are happy to offer cross entering between Walk, Trot and Canter classes at this show as specified in the rules.

Horses & Stabling

The Person Responsible must affirm on the Person Responsible Form that all horses entered by that club have an equine influenza vaccination within 6 months of this competition. Proof of vaccination may be requested by the organizing committee at any time.

Any horse entered in any class at a competition may be selected for equine medication control testing while at the event location.

There are no stabling options at this event. There will be dedicated space for resting horses between classes, including tie-up options inside the ring. Horses that need to arrive early and/or leave late should check with the organizing committee to see if we can make suitable arrangements for you.

Music

Music must be submitted on this website via the competition entry system. The music management page will be available after the close of entries and until the entries lock date. Although vocal music is permitted in all classes, this competition is a family-oriented event. All vaulters and coaches should ensure that music selections are appropriate for an all-ages audience.
