Release of Liability* I wish to participate in the above-named ride, attending the event premises with my horse(s) and possibly with family or other support. All references herein to “me”, “I” or “my” or such other designations shall include my family and support group, together with my equine(s) or other pets or animals. I acknowledge I am speaking for them in making my entry and am responsible for their behavior and safety. In participating, I fully understand and recognize the inherent risks and dangers involved (whether directly explained but certainly as reasonably foreseeable or as should have been reasonably foreseeable to a prepared participant), as well as the fact that significant unanticipated, uncontrollable and unexpected risks may arise during the ride. I understand competitive and endurance riding involves being in remote areas for extended periods of time, far from communications, transportation, and medical facilities. I recognize other persons may be in the vicinity of the event and whether or not they are participating directly or merely bystanders, I accept that I personally owe them a duty of reasonable care to prevent damage or injury to them, their families or property arising from my participation or the care, custody or control of my equine(s) or other animals or family or friends. I recognize ride management cannot eliminate or control all potential hazards to me or my horse or act to guarantee our safety. I agree to abide by the rules of the ride and UMECRA, which incorporates the rules at AERC for endurance riding, and am familiar with those rules.
I HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS RELEASE. IF I AM A MINOR (UNDER 18) I UNDERSTAND I MAY NOT COMPETE WITHOUT THE LEGAL PERMISSION OF MY PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN.
