Under Florida law, an equine activity sponsor or equine professional is not liable for an injury to, or the death of, a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities.
“Inherent risks of equine activities” include, but are not limited to:
The propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons around them;
The unpredictability of an equine’s reaction to sounds, sudden movement, unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals;
Hazards such as surface and subsurface conditions, including uneven terrain;
Collisions with other equines, animals, people, or objects; and
The potential for a participant to act negligently in a manner that contributes to injury, including failing to maintain control or follow instructions.
I, the undersigned parent/legal guardian, acknowledge that I have read and understand this Florida Equine Activity Liability Notice and understand that my child’s participation in equine-related activities is voluntary and involves inherent risks.
