I am fully aware and understand that horses are unpredictable by nature; and when frightened, angry or under stress, it is a horse’s natural instinct to jump forward or sideways, to run away from danger at a trot or gallop, to kick, to buck, to rear up in front, or to bite, and that horses are extremely powerful.

I fully understand and agree that I alone am to be responsible for any bodily injury which I should sustain on the grounds of the Property Leasors and/or Property Owners while engaged in general recreation, riding, driving, viewing or caring for a horse, and for any time I should lose from employment or activity, and for the medical expenses or any other expenses incurred because of such bodily injury or property damage.

In acknowledgment of the above, I hereby, for myself and my heirs, HOLD HARMLESS the Property Leasors, Property Owners, and their respective servants, agents, employees, officers, and all other participants of and from all claims, demands, actions and causes of action for such injuries sustained to my person or property whether or not such injury or property damage resulted from the negligence or gross negligence of the Property Leasors, Property Owners, or their servants, agents, employees or officers, or resulted from any defect in tack or equipment that might be used on or around the property.
