In consideration for allowing me (or my minor child) to handle and ride a horse and on behalf of myself, my child or
our personal representatives, heirs, next-of-kin, spouses and assigns, I HEREBY:
1. Acknowledge that a horse or mule may, without warning or any apparent cause, buck, stumble, fall, rear, bite,
kick, run, make unpredictable movements, spook, jump obstacles, step on a persons feet, push or shove a
person, saddles or bridles may loosen or break all of which may cause the rider to fall or be jolted, resulting in
serious injury or death.
2. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT HORSEBACK RIDING IS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY
AND INVOLVES RISKS THAT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND IN SOME CASES DEATH, because
of the unpredictable nature and irrational behavior of horses, regardless of their training and past performance.
3. Voluntarily assume the risk and danger of injury or death inherent in the use of the horse, equipment and gear
provided to me by Lauren Fahey Eventing, hereinafter referred to as the Instructor.
4. RELEASE, DISCHARGE AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE the Instructor, doing business under its own name or
any other name and/orany of its owners, officers, employees and agents (hereinafter the Releasees), for any
loss, liability, damages, or cost whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury (including
death) to my person or property.
5. Release the Releasees from any claim that such Releasees are or may be negligent in connection with my riding
experience or ability including but not limited to training or selecting horses, maintenance, care, fit or adjustment
of saddles or bridles, instruction or riding skills or leading and supervising riders.
6. INDEMNIFY, AND SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS the Instructor and agents from and against any loss,
liability, damage or cost they may incur arising out of or in any way connected with either my use of the horse
and any equipment of gear provided therewith or any acts or omissions of wranglers or other employees or
agents.
7. The Undersigned expressly agrees that the foregoing release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and
indemnity agreement is governed by the State of Californiaand is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is
permitted by California Law (RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK), and that in the event any portion of this Agreement
is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the balance of the
Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any way and shall continue in full legal force and effect.
8. Acknowledge that this document is a contract and agree that if a lawsuit is filed against Lauren Fahey Eventing
or its agents for any injury or damage in breach of this contract, the Undersigned will pay all attorneys fees and
costs incurred by Lauren Fahey Eventing in defending such an action.
9. State that I am not now pregnant and that I have no history of epileptic seizures, heart condition or any other
medical problem that could be affected by horseback riding.
10. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT MY CHILD AND ALL RIDERS WEAR PROTECTIVE HELMET. IT IS
MY UNDERSTANDING THAT A PROTECTIVE HELMET IS AVAILABLE AND HAS BEEN
OFFERED FOR MY OWN OR MY CHILDS SAFETY.
I (and for my child) decline to wear a helmet (please initial here): _____________.
11. If the person who is to enter into this Agreement is less than eighteen (18) years of age, his/her parent or
guardian must read this Agreement and sign below on the behalf of the minor.
I have read this entire Release of Liability Document. I understand it is a promise not to sue and to release
Lauren Fahey Eventing, Its owners, and agents for all claims. I have made a free and deliberate choice to sign
this Release and Waiver as a condition to Releasees allowing me or my child to ride or handle a horse. I have
concluded that the risks involved and the release and waiver of liability is worth the pleasure of horseback riding
experience.
