Release and Waiver of Liability for Equine Activity and/or Carriage Rides
(Including Assumption of all Risks of Bodily Injury)

I understand that there are inherent risks of injury, including death, when participating in an Equine Activity, which risks include, but not limited to (1) the propensity of an equine to behave in ways ‘that may result in injury or death to persons on or around them, (2) the unpredictability of an equine’s reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement, and unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals, (3) hazards such as surface and subsurface conditions, (4) collisions with other equines or objects, and (5) the potential negligence of another participant, such as failing to maintain control over the equine, or not
acting within the participant’s ability.

Knowing and understanding the risks of participating in an Equine Activity and/or Carriage Rides, including injury and death, to my persons and damage to my personal property, I expressly choose to assume these risks.

result of my participation in this Equine Activity and/or Carriage Rides.
