4.

6. I understand and acknowledge that I have been provided an opportunity to inspect, survey and traverse the premises to be utilized, by the equine professional (LMNM) and I have accepted the premises in the "AS IS" condition. I also acknowledge these inherent risks of equine activities:
1) The propensity of an equine to behave in a manner, which may cause injury, harm or death to a person on or near it.
2) The unpredictability of an equine's reaction to sounds, sudden movements, unfamiliar objects, individuals or other animals.
3) An equine's reaction to certain natural hazards, such as surface and subsurface ground collisions.
4) A collision with other equines or objects.
5) An equine's response to the participant's manner of handling or controlling it or inability to handle or control it. Pennsylvania has adopted an Equine Activity Immunity Act. That Act recognizes the inherent risks involved in equine activities. I have voluntarily chosen to participate in these equine activities despite being aware of the risk involved.
