The Terms of Reference is the governing document that describes how this Equine Canada Discipline committee is structured and conducts its business.
For the first time Canada sends 2 Pas de Deux and 1 Squad plus 2 Individuals. Vaulting runs September 2-5 2014. WEG 2014 takes place in Normandie France. Detailed info can be found at fei.org.
A combined event will take place May 28-31, 2015. This event will offer a CVI 1*,2*& 3* and The Future Champions Bronze level Show with Walk/Trot and Canter D,C & B. This event will be hosted in beautiful Chilliwack BC. The CVI will be Thursday May 28 to Saturday May 30. The Future Champions will start Friday May 29 to Sunday May 31, with Walk and Trot classes hosted on Sunday May 31.
In Canada, we have Provincial and National Judges. Provincial Judges can judge provincial events as well as Equestrian Canada divisions up to and including Canter B. National Judges can judge Provincial events and all Equestrian Canada divisions.

Qualifications for Vaulting Stewards in Canada
Equestrian Canada stewards (minimum Recorded 2 - elegible for Silver and Bronze competitions) who are interested in adding vaulting to their credentials may apply to VaultCanada for certification as a vaulting steward.
A prospective vaulting steward must shadow at a minimum of one Equestrian Canada recognized bronze-silver-gold vaulting competition under the supervision of a certified VaultCanada vaulting steward.
If the answer to a question you are looking for is not here, please let us know at [email protected] !
The Equestrian Canada Rules for Vaulting in Canada state in Article L301 that: "The criteria for scoring is explained in detail in the FEI Guidelines for Vaulting Judges which is published annually on the FEI Vaulting Website." The notices posted here are supplemental to the FEI Guidelines for cases where the FEI Guidelines do not cover specifics needed in the context of the Canadian rules and/or competition systems.
This national program was approved on 2012-03-19 by the VaultCanada Sport Committee. Levels 1 through 5 are administered and managed provincially, while levels 6 through 8 are administered and managed nationally.
When you want to enter an event like a CVI or world championships, the requirements are quite different than what you would expect at regular Canadian vaulting competitions. You will be entering on behalf of your country so this involves both Equine Canada and the International Equestrian Federation.
Although our vision includes having a Provincial Vaulting Organization in every province and territory in Canada, this is not yet the case. If you are interested in vaulting and you live in a province that does not yet have such an organization, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at [email protected] and let us know of your interest, to what extent you think you might be able to be involved, and/or if you know of anyone who could help by being involved in your area. We look forward to hearing from you :)
