  • In consideration of receiving permission from the Cloverleaf Equine Center (referred to as “The Center”) to participate in or observe equine-assisted services in further consideration of receiving permission to enter upon the Center's property or other premises upon which the Center's activities may be conducted, the undersigned and his/her family, heirs and assigns hereby forever release, acquit, discharge and hold harmless the Center, as well as its officers, directors, staff, agents, instructors, volunteers, contributors and any property or horse owners affiliated with the Center of and from any and all liability, claim, loss, damage, illness, injury, or death that may be sustained by any of the undersigned while in or upon the premises while participating in or observing activities or while traveling to or from the premises.

    The undersigned acknowledges that there are certain risks inherent in participation in equine activities including (i) the propensity of an equine to behave in dangerous ways that may result in injury to the participant; (ii) the inability to predict an equine’s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons, or animals; (iii) the possibility of equipment failure; and (iv) hazards of surface or subsurface conditions. While the Center makes every effort to minimize these risks, the undersigned is duly aware of these risks and hazards inherent upon participation in or observing equine activities and/or upon entering upon the premises and expressly and knowingly assumes these risks. The undersigned shall explain the potential for these hazards and risks to others that may accompany or substitute for him/her at activities sponsored by the Center. These persons also, by their voluntary presence, assume the same risks and agree by their presence to the same release of liability described herein.

    The undersigned and all others that may accompany, represent, and/or substitute for those persons shall indemnify and hold harmless the Center, its officers, directors, trustees, agents, instructors, volunteers, contributors, and other property or horse owners affiliated with the Center of and from any and all liability, claim, loss, damage, cost, charge, and demand of any kind, including attorney’s fees and any related costs, arising either from the improper or negligent use by those listed and all that may accompany, represent, and/or substitute for those listed below of any equine, bridle, saddle, grooming tool, and/or other animal or tool or from the willful or negligent acts of said persons.

  • Assumption of Risk, Policy Adherence and Waiver of Liability Relating to Infectious Diseases

  • The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization.
    COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact.


    The Northern Virginia Therapeutic Riding Program (NVTRP) has put in place preventative measures to reduce the
    spread of COVID-19; however, NVTRP cannot guarantee that our participants and volunteers will not become
    infected with COVID-19. Further, attending NVTRP activities could increase your risk of contracting COVID-19.
    Please be advised that there are inherent risks when participating in equine-assisted activities and therapies
    such as:

    • Leather equipment (such as reins and saddle) cannot be completely disinfected.
    • Staff and volunteers often must be hands-on in assisting clients and will not be able to practice social
      distancing at all times.

    There are also some issues that may INCREASE their inherent risk of infection such as:

    • Underlying medical condition or age over 60.
    • Struggles to maintain social distancing.
    • Unable to comply with wearing a mask.
    • Touches face/mouth frequently, drools.
  • By signing this agreement,

    I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that I (or my child if under 18) may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending sessions at NVTRP and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at NVTRP may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, NVTRP employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.      

    Please initial next to each bullet indicating your agreement with the following statements:

    •    I have read and agree to adhere to NVTRP’s Procedures and Safety Precautions, including the new Sick Policy and Mitigation Measures to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
    •    I understand that if I do not abide by NVTRP’s Procedures and Safety Precautions, including the new Sick Policy and Mitigation Measures, NVTRP can deny participation.
