LIABILITY RELEASE FOR CTR. IT CONTAINS LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.
PLEASE READ IT!
As a participant in the above-named ride. I understand that Distance riding involves being in remote areas for extended periods of time, far from communications, transportation, and medical facilities; that these areas have many natural and man-made hazards which ride management cannot anticipate, identify, modify, or eliminate; that horses can be excitable, difficult to control, and unpredictable; that accidents can happen to anyone at any time. I agree to take full responsibility for myself and the animal I am riding. In exchange for the privilege of participating in AHA endorsed distance rides, I, my heirs, executors, and administrators will hold harmless and blameless AHA, and all officers and directors thereof, all members of the ride management and ride personnel, all property owners/tenants upon whose land the distance rides are held from all liability for any injury or loss to myself or my horse which occurs due to my participation, or anyone who accompanies me to AHA events.
Junior riders (who have not reached their 19th birthday as of December 1 of the current ride year) entered in the ride will be accepted and allowed to ride only if accompanied by a competent adult (21 years or older) and must be duly entered as a competitor in the event and sponsorship must be documented on the junior entry form, complete with parent/guardian signature and or sponsor signature.
At the time sponorship begins, juniors will not be allowed to start or continue from a point without an adult sponsor. Additionally, all riders 18 and under must wear protective helmets when mounted. Parent/Guardian signature gives permission for emergency medical treatment for junior riders.
I have read AHA rules, conditions, regulations and requirements of this ride and will abide by them.
