CDI Frequently Asked Questions

Horse Inspection

Riders must present their horses at the "trot-up" the day before the event. During this process, members of the "Ground Jury" and the Veterinary Delegate will verify the horses' identities using their passports and microchips, as well as assess their overall soundness and fitness to compete.

Draw

The "draw," which determines when each horse and rider combination will start in a competition, takes place the day before the event, rather than after entries close. This adds to the excitement and tension, particularly for the riders, and means that individual starting times cannot be ahead of the show.

Equestrian Canada
Permission to Compete

Equestrian Canada requires all athlete/horse combinations wishing to compete in a CDI to complete and submit a Permission to Compete / FEI Registration form.

As this is a CDI in Canada no threshold scores are required.

See the FEI Passport page for information on FEI documentation for the horse.
