Rider Acknowledgment & Safety Agreement

I understand that horse riding, at any skill level, comes with inherent risks, and that all horses may occasionally react unpredictably.

I acknowledge that falling from a horse is a possibility and accept the risk of injury.

I recognise that instructions are provided for my safety, and agree to follow all guidance given to me by my riding instructor.

I understand that wearing an appropriate riding helmet can reduce the severity of injuries in the event of an accident, and I agree to always wear a helmet while riding.

I acknowledge that my instructor will make decisions based on the information I provide. Therefore, I agree to be honest and disclose my riding experience, past accidents, and any medical conditions that may affect my ability to ride safely.

Acknowledgment of Risk & Indemnity Agreement

I understand that horse riding is an activity that carries inherent risks. I acknowledge that I, or my child/ward, participate in horse riding activities at Ranchlands Equestrian Centre at our own risk.

I agree to fully indemnify and hold harmless Ranchlands Equestrian Centre and its staff, contractors, and representatives from any liability, claims, actions, suits, costs, or expenses that may arise, including those resulting from negligence. This indemnity applies to any injury, loss, or damage sustained while participating in activities at the centre.

In the event of an accident or medical emergency, I authorise Ranchlands Equestrian Centre and its representatives to obtain any necessary medical assistance for myself or my child/ward. I accept full responsibility for any medical costs incurred as a result.

By signing this agreement, I confirm that I have read and understood the terms and voluntarily accept the risks involved.
