known as "THIS STABLE") SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT FROM YOUR PARTICIPATION IN
THIS ACTIVITY. THIS STABLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY. A. REGISTRATION OF RIDERS AND AGREEMENT PURPOSE - In consideration
of the payment of a fee and the signing of this agreement, I the individual
listed below, and the parent or legal guardian thereof if a minor, do
hereby agree to hire from THIS STABLE a horse, tack and equipment, personnel,
and trail for the purpose of horseback riding today and on all future
dates. B. AGREEMENT SCOPE AND TERRITORY AND DEFINITIONS - This
agreement shall be legally binding on me the registered rider, and the
parent and legal guardian thereof if a minor, my heirs, estate, assigns,
including all minor children, and personal representatives; and it shall
be interpreted according to the laws of the state and county of THIS
STABLE. (The term "HORSE" herein shall refer to all equine
species.) The term "HORSEBACK RIDING" herein shall refer to
riding a horse mounted or otherwise handling of hoses, ponies, mules,
or donkeys, whether from the ground or mounted. The term "RIDER"
shall herein refer to a person who rides a horse mounted or otherwise
handles or comes near a horse from the ground. The terms "I",
"ME", "MY" shall herein refer to the registered
rider names below and the parents or legal guardians thereof if a minor. C. NATURE OF STABLES HORSES - THIS STABLE follows a rigid
safety program. Horseback riding is the only sport where one much smaller,
weaker, predator animal (human) tries to impose its will on another
much larger, stronger prey animal with a mind of its own (horse) and
each has a limited understanding of the other. If a horse is frightened
or provoked it may divert from its training and act according to its
natural survival instincts which may include but are not limited to:
Stopping short, Changing directions or speed at will, Shifting its weight,
Bucking, Rearing, Kicking, Biting or Running from danger. D. RIDER RESPONSIBILITY - I understand that the rider
is in primary control of the horse. The rider's safety largely depends
upon his/her ability to carry out simple instructions, and his/her ability
to remain balanced aboard the moving animal. I agree that the rider
shall be responsible for his/her own safety, and that of an unborn child
if the rider is pregnant. THIS STABLE ADVISES A PREGNANT WOMAN NOT TO
RIDE A HORSE unless permission is given under advice of her physician.
(It is also the rider's responsibility to notify the staff of any physical/mental
health condition and/or disability which the rider may have that will
affect his/her ability to ride a horse.) E. SADDLE GIRTHS - NATURAL LOOSENING - I UNDERSTAND THAT:
Saddle girths (saddle fasteners around horse's belly) may loosen during
a ride. If rider notices this he/she must alert the nearest guide or
wrangler as quickly as possible so action can be taken.F. LIABILITY
RELEASE - In consideration of THIS STABLE allowing my participation
in this activity, under the terms set forth herein, I, the rider and
the parent or legal guardian thereof if a minor, do agree to hold harmless
and release THIS STABLE, its owners, agents, employees, officers, members,
premises owners, insurers, and affiliated organizations from legal liability
due to THIS STABLE'S ordinary negligence; and I do further agree that
I shall bring no claims, demands, actions and causes of action and/or
litigation against THIS STABLE AND ITS ASSOCIATES as stated above in
this clause, for any economic and non-economic losses, due to bodily
injury, death, property damage, sustained by me and/or my minor child
or legal ward in relation to the premises and operation of THIS STABLE,

by or in the care, custody and control of THIS STABLE. G. PROTECTIVE HEADGEAR OFFERING: I, for myself and on
behalf of my child and/or legal ward, have been offered protective headgear
(riding helmet) by THIS STABLE and do understand that the wearing of
such headgear around horses may prevent or reduce severity of some head
