I understand that the saddle, girth, or cinches may loosen during a ride and that I am responsible for alerting the instructor/guide to help me tighten it to prevent the saddle from slipping while I am riding.

I understand that Michael Cassard has offered me a protective helmet, which meets or exceeds the quality standards or the SEI CERTIFIED ASTM STANDARD F 1163 Equestrian helmet requirement. The wearing of such a helmet may reduce the severity of some head injuries and may prevent any serious injury or death as a result of a fall or other occurrence, and I have chosen to wear it or not according to my own discretion.
I understand that I am responsible for any emergency or ongoing medical treatment that may be required due to any injury that occurs while I am participating in these equine activities. I and/or my own accident/medical insurance company shall pay for all such incurred expenses.
