New Vaccination Rule Taking Effect in 2020
2020 SHOW SEASON
A new Equestrian Canada (EC) rule on vaccinations (A519) will be universally enforced for all equines entering EC sanctioned competitions beginning in 2020. Article A519 has been added under Section A: General Regulations of the EC Rules with the aim of reducing the potential for disease to spread at EC sanctioned competitions.
EC strongly recommends that in preparation for the new rule, all equines at competitions or events be accompanied by proof that Equine Influenza and Equine Herpes Virus (1 & 4) vaccinations have been administered at a maximum of 12-month intervals. However, horses competing in competitions should receive a booster for Equine Influenza and Equine Herpes Virus within six (6) months +21 days before arrival at an event.
Additionally, no horse should receive vaccination within seven (7) days of arrival of a competition. The frequency of vaccine administration should be as recommended by the vaccine manufacturer or veterinarian, and it is recommended that vaccines be administered by or under the direction of a veterinarian. Article A519 also outlines acceptable vaccination documentation.

Heading into the “off-season” is a great time to concentrate on areas of your riding and training that will improve your performance in the coming show season. A common phrase in the Saddlebred world is “with a winter’s work”. With this as the theme of this clinic we can expect to learn how to help our horses reach their full potential.
Show shoes and full bridles are not required. Mr. Lilly will also be presenting topics such as Bits, Bitting and Bridles, and Show Ring Strategy. This clinic is NOT designed for the beginner rider. Experienced riders are invited to apply, and we welcome riders and horse lovers of ALL ages and abilities to attend as auditors.
JOIN US for a weekend of learning and fun!
The 2019 Clinic will feature two days packed with fun and learning. You’ll enjoy the knowledge of World Champion trainer and author Smith Lilly as he shares his expertise in preparing you and your horse for the show ring.
