RIDER RELEASE
This is a release. It contains limitations on liability. READ IT!!!!!!!!!!
I understand that endurance riding is a hazardous activity which involves being in remote areas for a long time, 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, and that accidents can happen to anyone at anytime, and that there is No ambulance or medical help present. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM ENTERING THIS RIDE AT MY OWN RISK and upon acceptance of my application for entry in the above described ride, with full appreciation of these facts, I voluntarily agree to participate in the ride. In consideration for my participation, I knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with my participation at the ride, including but not limited to, the risk of illness, death, bodily injury, disability, or exposure. With full understanding of the aforementioned risks, I knowingly and voluntarily waive and release AERC, PNER, the manager of the ride, all ride volunteers, agents, and attendees from all present and future claims of any type for any harm or loss, including but not limited to, economic loss, personal injury, disease, death or property damage suffered by me as a result of participation at the ride. I and my heirs, executors, and administrators, will not hold AERC, PNER, Inc and all officers and directors thereof, any member of the ride management and ride personnel, and all property owners/tenants whose land the ride crosses BLAMELESS for any injury or loss to myself or my horse which occurs due to my participation and free from all liability for such injury or loss. In short, I will not sue the ride management, their personnel, landowners or tenants, and AERC and PNER. I understand AERC RULE #13: "Drugs of any kind are prohibited in horses participating in AERC sanctioned endurance rides." I fully understand the consequences for not following ride rules. As a participant in this ride, I have read the above liability release and will agree to abide by ALL rules. I understand the RM is NOT responsible for any damages my horse might incur nor is RM responsible for finding my horse should it get loose.
