1.
INHERENT RISKS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK. The undersigned acknowledges there are
inherent risks associated with equine
activities
such as described below, and hereby expressly assumes all risks associated with
participating in such activities. The inherent
risks
include, but are not limited to the propensity of equines to behave in ways such
as, running, bucking, biting, kicking, shying,
stumbling,
rearing, falling or stepping on, that may result in an injury, harm or death to
persons on or around them; the unpredictability
of
equine's reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement and unfamiliar
objects, persons or other animals; certain hazards
such as
surface and subsurface conditions; collisions with other animals; the limited
availability of emergency medical care; and the
potential
of a participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to
the participant or others, such as failing to
maintain
control over the animal or not acting within such participant's ability.
Rider
acknowledges that horses, by their very nature are unpredictable and subject to
animal whim, which may include behavior
including
but not limited to their propensity to kick, bite, shy, buck, stumble, bolt,
rear or general unpredictability. Rider assumes all
risks in
connection therewith, and expressly waives any claims for any injury or loss
arising there from. Rider agrees to abide by and
follow
Ranch’s rules and regulations, which shall be posted and/or available from
time to time. Rider further acknowledges that the
behavior
of any animal is contingent to some extent upon the ability of Rider. Rider
assumes all risks therefore and warrants a full and
fair
disclosure of Rider's abilities has been made to Instructor.
2. RIDER
(OR RIDER'S PARENT OR GUARDIAN) AGREES TO HOLD HARMLESS, INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND
INSTRUCTOR
AGAINST
ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, JUDGMENTS, ORDERS, COSTS
OR EXPENSES,
INCLUDING
ATTORNEY'S FEES, WHICH MAY IN ANY WAY ARISE FROM OR BE IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH
RIDER'S USE
OF OR
PRESENCE UPON THE PROPERTY OF INSTRUCTOR AND THE FACILITIES LOCATED THEREON.
3. IN THE
EVENT Rider is using Rider’s own horse, or a horse(s) not owned by Ranch or
Instructor, Rider warrants said horse(s) shall
be free
from infection, contagious or transmittable diseases. Ranch reserves the right
to refuse access or use of any horse upon the
premises
that does not appear to Ranch to be in good health or is deemed dangerous or
undesirable in any way.
4. IN THE
EVENT Rider is a minor, the parent or guardian shall further indemnify, defend
and hold Instructor/Ranch harmless from any
such
claims by said minor child, regardless of any statute of limitations or
contractual limitation of actions.
5. RIDER
AGREES to waive the protection of any applicable statutes in this jurisdiction
whose purpose, substance and/or effect is to
provide
that a general release shall not extend to claims, material or otherwise, which
the person giving the release does not know or
suspect to
exist at the time of executing said release.
