I understand that neither the Western Reserve Carriage Association ("Club"), its officials, directors, officials, organizers, members, volunteers, trainers, helpers, employees, servants, workers and/or agents, nor the property owners, accept any responsibility for accidents, damage, injury or illness to me or any other persons or property in connection with any event, competition, show, schooling show, pleasure drive, clinic, horse riding activity, carriage riding activity or any other participation in any event and/or activity by me while on any premises used by the Club, or on the premises of a Club member holding a club-related event.
I hereby expressly agree for myself and my principals, representatives, employees, and agents that horse sports, including spectators, drivers and/or riders, involves inherent dangerous risk of serious injury or death. "Inherent risk of an equine activity" means a danger or condition that is an integral part of an equine activity, including, but not limited to, any of the following: (a) The propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, death, or loss to persons on or around the equine; (b) The unpredictability of an equine's reaction to sounds, sudden movement, unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals; (c) Hazards, including, but not limited to, surface or subsurface conditions; (d) A collision with another equine, another animal, a person, or an object. By participating, I do so voluntarily and expressly assume any and all risks of injury or loss and I agree to indemnify and hold the Club, its officers, directors, members, volunteers, employees and agents harmless for and against all claims including any injury or loss suffered during or in conjunction with any activity on these premises, any premises used by the Club, or any member's premises for a Club-related event, whether or not such claim, injury, or loss resulted either directly or indirectly, from the negligent acts or omissions of the Club, its officers, directors, members, volunteers, trainers, helpers, employees, servants, workers, agents, officials, and/or organizing committee. I further agree not to commence an action or suit in this or any other jurisdiction for any such injuries or losses.
