CONSENT AGREEMENT AND LIABILITY RELEASE

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING

I,

I am fully aware and understand that horses are unpredictable by nature; that when frightened or angry or under stress, a horse's natural instincts are 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; that horses are extremely powerful; and that if a rider falls to the ground, the fall distance will be generally from 3-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet. I understand that I, or my minor child or legal ward, could be injured as a result of any of these or other actions of a horse. I understand these risks, and I voluntarily assume these risks and dangers.
