As a condition to my acceptance of participation in ‘Cashmere Party Pony’ Parties, I hereby acknowledge that I agree to participate at my own risk and that I am aware that all horse activities and interactions with animals carry an element of hazard and risk of injury to both horse, rider, service provider and the general public. I am aware that Cashmere Party Ponies accepts no responsibility or liability for any injury or loss that I may sustain as a direct or indirect consequence of participation in horse riding or horse and animal related activities, irrespective of whether a sustained injury is a direct/indirect result of Cashmere Party Ponies.
I acknowledge that all safety precautions undertaken are a service to me but are not a guarantee of safety. I understand that horses and animals are unpredictable by nature, that when frightened, their instincts are to jump forward or sideways, to run away from danger, to kick, to rear up, buck or to bite. I declare that I and my child will follow all directions by Cashmere Party Ponies staff in order to ensure a safe experience.
