READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING
I agree to this Waiver, Assumption of Risk Agreement, and Liability Release (hereafter, "Agreement") with Garrett Williamson who is/are a corporation or LLC (hereafter referred to as "Stable") as a condition for his/her/its/their allowing me and the persons identified below (if any), to do any or all of the following at any time and at any location: enter Stable's premises, land, facilities, barns, arenas, paddocks, pastures, and surrounding land; be near horses, ponies, mules, or donkeys (hereafter, "equines"), work with, handle, ride, drive, and/or receive instruction or guidance related to riding, driving, handling and/or working with equines. (All of these activities, individually and collectively, will be referred to as "The Activities" throughout this Agreement.)

To the fullest extent allowed by law, I also make this agreement on behalf of the following who is/are my child/children or legal ward(s):

All parts of this Agreement apply to me and each of the children or legal wards listed above. [We will collectively call ourselves "I," "me," or "my" throughout this Agreement.]

IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. I understand that although I am signing this Agreement today, I also intend for this Agreement to be valid and binding now and in the future when I engage in any or all of The Activities at any location.

2. Assumption and Acceptance of Risks. I understand that anyone riding, driving, handling, working with, or even near an equine at any location can suffer bodily and other injuries. Among other things, equines are unpredictable by nature. For example, when frightened, angry, or under stress, the natural instincts of an equine are to jump forward or sideways, back up quickly, or run away from real or perceived danger by trotting or galloping. Equines also have the ability to kick, buck, rear up, spin around, strike, or bite. I know that equines can do these and other things without warning. I also understand that all equines, even if they have no history of hurting anyone, are powerful and have the potential to be dangerous to people, equines, and other animals.

I also understand that riding, driving, handling, working with, or even being near an equine can expose me to numerous hazards, which could include, for example: the propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons on or around them; the unpredictability of an equine's reaction to sounds, sudden movements, and unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals; certain hazards such as surface or subsurface conditions on the land where The Activities take place; and/or collisions with other equines, animals, or objects.

I understand these risks and dangers that are inherent in equine-related activities, and I agree to assume all of them. I also understand that these are just some of the risks, and I agree to assume others that are not mentioned in this Agreement. I am NOT relying on Stable to list all possible risks in this Agreement or any time, now or in the future.

INITIAL HERE:    Initials*
3. WAIVER AND LIABILITY RELEASE: As consideration for being allowed to
engage in any or all of The Activities, now and in the future and at any location, and to the greatest extent allowed under Pennsylvania law, I (on behalf of myself and my spouse, parents, heirs. representatives, assigns, minor child/ren or legal wards) agree to each of the following:

(a) Stable and his/her/its/their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, heirs, family members, assigns, representatives, affiliated persons, and others acting on their behalf (hereafter referred to collectively as "The Released Parties") shall not be liable for any losses, injuries, or damages that I may sustain as a result of engaging in any of the activities at any time or at any location; and

(b) I fully and forever release, waive, and discharge all claims, demands, damages, legal actions, causes of action, or rights of action (present or future) against The Released Parties whether the claims are known, unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, and whether caused by their negligence or other legal liability resulting from or arising out of my engaging in The Activities at any time and at any location. The term "damages" in this Agreement means, for example, medical expenses any
and all claims or losses because of bodily injuries, mental/emotional injuries, or property damages, death, expenses, and/or personal property damages. This Agreement is intended to apply and be binding regardless of whether I am riding, driving, handling, or near equines. (However, it is understood that I am not releasing any of The Released Parties from liability for injuries directly caused by their gross negligence, willful or wanton disregard for my safety, recklessness, or
intentional wrongdoing.)

I understand that by signing this Agreement, and to the fullest extent allowed by Pennsylvania law, I am voluntarily releasing The Released Parties from liability and am giving up certain legal rights, including the right to bring a claim or suit against The Released Parties arising from ordinary negligence or liability on part of any of them, now and/or in the future, arising from my attendance at and/or participation in
any of The Activities.

INITIAL HERE:   Initials*
4. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Released Parties against any and all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, losses, or suits that are brought against The Released Parties (or either of them) which are in any way connected with my/our participation in any of The Activities at any time and at any location, including claims that allege acts or omissions of The Released Parties that are negligent or in violation of a state Equine Activity Liability Act. This indemnification shall also include reimbursement of reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred by The Released Parties.

5. ASTM/SEI Helmet/Headgear. I understand that I should purchase and wear properly fitted and secured ASTM-standard/SEl-certified protective headgear that is designed for use when riding, driving, or near equines. I am NOT relying on Stable to provide a helmet for me, to check any helmet or strap that I may wear, or to monitor my compliance with this suggestion at any time. If I choose to wear a helmet, if I choose not to wear a helmet, and the type of helmet I may wear are my decisions.

6. Emergencies. Person(s) to Contact in Case of Emergency:
Name:   First Name*   Last Name*
Phone:   Area Code*   Phone Number*
Relationship:   Ex: Mother*

7. Pennsylvania law applies to this Agreement, and I agree that this Agreement shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law. If any clause conflicts with applicable law, only that clause will be null and void but the remainder shall stay in full force and effect. This Agreement can only be modified in writing and signed by me and Garrett Williamson (on behalf of Stable). I agree to pay any attorney fees and costs for The Released Parties (or either of them) to enforce this Agreement, and I agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Released Parties for such fees and costs.

8. ALSO, I REPRESENT (please initial each box below):
