EC Rulebook Publications Guide 2010
Sections of the Equine Canada Rulebook may be printed or viewed in
three different formats. Click on the link describing the effective
date in the table below.
- Clean Copy shows the final text as of January 1, 2010 only, plus all subsequent updates/revisions after January 1, 2010
- Changes Visible
this version shows all changes from the final 2009 edition. Additions
are underlined and in red ink (for the benefit of easy on-screen
reading and those with color ink printers). All deletions are presented
in strikethrough text, and the changes are underlined and have a bar in
the margin for quick reference.
- Amendments – are
updates/revisions made to the Section after January 1. These changes
will be included in both versions above. All documents will bear the
date of the last revision. This allows individuals to view and/or
download their preferred version:
1. Review on the screen and make pen & ink revisions to previous personal copy, or
2. Download the Amendments and cut and paste for a previous printed rulebook, or
3. Reprint the entire Rulebook, either as a Clean Copy or with Changes Visible.
To download your preference, click the effective date in the
appropriate box. This will open the file. You may either print the
document or save it to a disc or memory stick to have it printed by a
local print shop. For best results, ask the printer to use 28# laser
paper, double sided. Print the cover (first page) on card stock and
either three-hole punch or use a coil binding on the top margin for
durability.
Note: should you have difficulty in downloading any file, your web
browsers may require the “pop-up blocker” be turned off. Alternatively,
right-clicking on a document and selecting the “Save Link As…” command
will download the file.
Note: to print a specific page(s), use the document page number at the bottom of your screen, not the Rulebook page number.
For those wishing to purchase a printed hardcopy (available in ' Changes Visible' only), select Purchase Rulebook(s).
