PARENT / GUARDIAN ACKNOWLEDGMENT, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND MEDIA RELEASE

By registering a child under age 18 and bringing them onto the property, I (the parent or legal guardian) confirm the following:

 

**Animals and inherent risks**

I understand that horses and other animals live on the grounds, including cats, dogs, pigs, ducks, and donkeys. Animals are unpredictable. They may kick, bite, startle, knock someone down, or cause injury even when they appear calm. I assume all risks of being near, feeding, touching, or interacting with any animal on the property, and I assume those same risks on behalf of my child.

 

**Supervision of minors**

I am 100% responsible for the supervision and safety of my child at all times while on the property. Henry’s Home staff and volunteers do not assume responsibility for watching my child.

 

**Release and hold harmless**

On behalf of myself, my child, and our heirs and representatives, I release, waive, and hold harmless Henry’s Home Horse & Human Sanctuary, its officers, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, and affiliates from any and all claims, liability, injury, illness, or death arising from our presence on the property or interaction with animals or people there—including claims based on ordinary negligence. I agree to indemnify Henry’s Home against any claims brought by or on behalf of my child.

 

**Photo, video, and social media release**

I grant Henry’s Home permission to photograph and video me and my child while on the property or participating in programs or events. I authorize Henry’s Home to use those images and recordings—without compensation and without further approval—on its website, social media, newsletters, printed materials, and other promotional or educational communications. I understand names may be used unless I request otherwise in writing to leadership.

 

**Background check and identification**

I give Henry’s Home permission to run a background check on me at its discretion. If I will drive a vehicle on the property, I will provide a copy of my valid driver’s license.

 

**Texas equine activity notice**

Under Texas law (Chapter 87, Civil Practice and Remedies Code), an equine professional is not liable for injury to or death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities.

 

I have read and understand these requirements. If I have any questions or cannot agree to them, I will speak with a member of the leadership team before my child participates.

**REVIEW AND SIGN BELOW**

I acknowledge that being on the Henry’s Home property and around horses, dogs, and other animals involves risk of bodily injury, even when I am not riding. Those risks include kicks, bites, being knocked down, falls, collisions with animals, vehicles, or stationary objects, uneven ground, and limited immediate medical care.

I understand that spending time near a horse—including petting or grooming—can be dangerous. A horse may suddenly change direction, trip, fall, stop short, shift its weight, buck, rear, kick, bite, spook, or run if it is frightened, provoked, or for no apparent reason. Henry’s Home makes no representations or guarantees about the safety, training, or suitability of any horse.

I also understand that general property activity can be dangerous, including walking trails, being near fences or buildings, and being around tools, equipment, or land-management work.

I (or my estate) am solely responsible for any emergency or ongoing medical treatment that may be required because of an injury on the property at 14638 Perry Road, Conroe. I and/or my accident or medical insurance will pay all such expenses.

I have read and understand the above and the parent/guardian requirements provided separately. If I cannot agree, I will speak with a member of the leadership team before participating.
