ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS
I acknowledge and agree that (i) horse riding is a risky and dangerous sport and horses are inherently dangerous and unpredictable animals and (ii) BTSC makes every effort to have safe, suitable and reliable horses and safe facilities but the very presence of other horses and other riders, visitors and members of the public at BTSC increases the risks and dangers. Notwithstanding these risks and dangers I voluntarily choose to ride and/or be present at BTSC at my own risk.
