Horse Riding Agreement And Liability Release Form (Page 2 of 3) in pdf

common with beginners although expert riders are still subject to considerable (sometimes fatal)

danger from participation in this activity.

RIDER RESPONSIBILITY: I understand that, notwithstanding the presence or participation of

an instructor or trainer, upon mounting a horse and taking up the reins, the RIDER is in primary

control of the horse. The RIDER'S safety largely depends upon his or her ability to carry out

simple instructions, and his or her ability to remain balanced aboard the moving animal (which is

not easy for beginners). The RIDER shall be responsible for his or her own safety and that of an

unborn child if the rider is pregnant. Pregnant women should ride horses only under the advice of

their physician. Releasees advise pregnant women not to ride horses.

CONDITIONS OF NATURE: Releasees are not responsible for total or partial acts,

occurrences, or elements of nature that can scare a horse, cause it to fall, or otherwise react in

some unsafe way.

SOME EXAMPLES ARE: thunder, lightning, rain, wind, other horses, wild and domestic

animals, insects, or reptiles which may walk, run, fly near, bite and/or sting a horse or person.

Further, Releasees are not responsible for irregular or obstructed footing on groomed or wild land

(including indoor or outdoor arenas, pens, pastures or trails) which is subject to constant change

in condition according to use, weather, temperature, maintenance (or lack thereof) and natural and

man-made changes in landscape. Further still, Releasees are not responsible for activities engaged

in by others such as, but not limited to, hunters (shooting guns, for example), trappers (setting

traps, for example), railroad engineers (operating trains, for example) or car drivers or occupants

(honking horns or throwing objects to scare a horse, for example).

INSPECTION OF PREMISES: I understand that RIDER has had either the opportunity to

inspect or has actually inspected Releasees's facilities, trails, and neighboring properties and is

satisfied that all premises are reasonably safe for RIDER'S intended purpose, usage and presence.

ACCIDENTAL AND PERSONAL LIABILITY INSURANCE: I agree that should medical

treatment be required, I and/or my own accidental/medical insurance company shall pay for all

such incurred expenses and deductibles. My accidental insurance company is

__________________________ and my policy number is ___________________________.

Should my actions or that of my horse cause injury or damage of any kind, I and/or my own

personal liability insurance carrier shall pay for such damages. My personal liability insurance

company is ___________________ and my policy number is

_________________________________.

PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR/ EQUIPMENT WARNING: I agree that for myself and on

behalf of my child and/or legal ward have been fully warned and advised by Releasees that

protective headgear and equipment should b e worn while riding and being near horses and I do

understand that the wearing of such equipment at these times may reduce the severity of some of

the wearer's head injuries and possibly prevent the wearer's death from happening as the result of

a fall and other occurrences.

LIABILITY RELEASE: I agree that in consideration of Releasees allowing my participation in

this activity under the terms set forth herein, I, the RIDER, for myself and on behalf of my child

and/or legal ward or other parent, heirs, administrators, personal representatives or assigns, do

agree to hold harmless, release, and discharge Releasees, its owners, agents, independent

contractors, employees, officers, directors, representatives, assigns, members, owners of premises

and trails (whether or not such premises or trails are owned by Releasees), affiliated organizations

and insurers and others acting on its behalf (hereinafter, collectively referred to as "Associates")

of and from all claims, demands, causes of action and legal liability, whether your damage be

known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated due to Releasees's and/or its Associate's ordinary
