Horseback Riding Waiver (under 18)

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY (AR-0103)

WARNING: THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. READ IT CAREFULLY!

1. I am the Parent/Guardian of the Infant Participant and am executing this waiver on behalf of the Infant Participant in my capacity as Parent/Guardian and with the intent that this waiver be binding on behalf of myself and the Infant Participant for all legal purposes.

2. I am aware that there are inherent dangers, hazards and risks (collectively “Risks”) associated with “Equine Activities” and injuries resulting from these “Risks” are a common occurrence. I am aware that the “Risks” of “Equine Activities” mean those dangerous conditions which are an integral part of “Equine Activities”, including but not limited to:

(a) The propensity of any equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm or death to persons on or around them and to potentially collide with, bite, or kick other animals, people or objects;

(b) The unpredictability of an equine’s reaction to such things such as sounds, sudden movements, tremors, vibrations, unfamiliar objects, persons or other animals and hazards such as subsurface objects;

(c) The potential for other participants to behave in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to themselves or others, including failing to act within their abilities to maintain control over an equine.

3. I freely accept and fully assume all responsibility for all “Risks” and possibilities of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting from Infant Participant's participation in “Equine Activities”.

4. I agree that although the “Host” has taken steps to reduce “Risks” and increase the safety of the “Equine Activities”, it is not possible for the “Host” to make the “Equine Activities” completely safe. I accept these “Risks” and agree to the terms of this waiver on behalf of the Infant Participant, even if the “Host” is found to be negligent or in breach of any duty of care or any obligation to myself or the Infant Participant's participation in “Equine Activities”.

5. In addition to consideration given to the “Host” for the Infant Participant's participation in “Equine Activities”, I and my heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns, as well as the Infant Participant's heirs, next of kin, executors, administrators and assigns (collectively my “legal Representatives”) agree: 

(a) To waive all claims that the Infant Participant's has or may have in the future against the “Host”;

(b) To release and forever discharge the “Host” from all liability for any personal injury, death property damage, or loss that I, the Infant Participant's, or our "Legal Reresentatives" might suffer as a result of the Infant Participant's participation in the equine activity due to any cause, including but not limited to negligence (failure to use such care as a reasonably prudent and carful person would use under similar circumstances), breach of any duty imposed by law, breach of contract or mistake or error in judgment of the “Host”, and

(c) To be liable for and to hold harmless and indemnify the “Host” from all actions, proceedings, claims, damages, costs demands, including court costs and costs on a solicitor and own client basis, and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind arising out of or in any way connected with the Infant Participant's participation in “Equine Activities”.

6. I agree that this waiver and all terms contained herein are governed exclusively and in all respects by the laws of the Province or Territory of Canada in with the “Equine Activities” are provided by the “Host”. I herby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that Province or Territory of Canada and I agree that no other court can exercise jurisdiction over the terms and claims referred to herein. Any litigation to enforce this waiver will be instituted in the Province or Territory of Canada in which the “Equine Activates” are provided by the “Host”.

7. I confirm that I have sufficient time to read and understand this waiver to its entirety. I understand that this agreement represents the entire agreement between the “Host”, myself as Parent/Guardian, and the Infant Participant, and is binding on myself, the Infant Participant and our “Legal Representatives”.
