I wish to participate in the NASTR Ride. I agree to abide by the rules of AERC and those of the aforementioned ride.

I understand that endurance riding involves being in remote areas for extended periods of time, far from communications, transportation, and medical facilities. These areas have many natural and man-made hazards to include wild and domestic animals such as cows, coyotes, wild horses, sheep, goats, snakes, squirels, mice, and birds, 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.  I am aware this endurance ride covers difficult terrain, on trails where the footing for horses may be unsure, and will include highway crossing hazards.  I further acknowledge that competitive or "endurance" riding over considerable distances contains inherent risks of injury and damage to me personally, to my equine, and my equipment.  I agree to take full responsibility for myself and the animal I am riding.

Knowing these facts, I, nevertheless, in consideration of your accepting this entry, do hereby for myself, heirs, executors, and administrators, waive and release the above named ride, and all other persons, organizations, and agencies, regardless of their capacity in any way connected with the above named ride, or their representatives, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns from any and all right, claim or liability for damages, or for any and all injuries that may be sustained by me, including injuries to animals, or from any and all claims of any kind or nature that I might have. I will hold AERC, the Nevada All- State Trail Riders, Inc. all ride personnel and all property owners over whose land the ride passes blameless for any accident, injury, or loss that might occur due to my participation in the ride, and free from all liability for such injury or loss. 

Further, I do hereby acknowledge that said release will extend to any accidents, damages, or claims arising out of my entry, caused by my own acts or anyone or any animals within my control.

I do acknowledge that I read the foregoing paragraphs, and know and understand the contents thereof.

for and in consideration of our child's participation in the above named Ride, do hereby release all persons charged with official capacity in the execution of such Ride, from all claims, demands, suits, or liabilities which otherwise arise by virtue of injury to or occasioned by our child or any horse under such child's direction or control. We do further authorize any officer, manager, director, or supervisory personnel of the above named Ride, to consent on our behalf, to any emergency medical treatment by a properly licensed person, which may be required for our child, and do agree to indemnify, and hold harmless, anyone giving such consent. I declare under penalty that the foregoing is true and correct.
