    RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS

    ---WARNING---

    BY SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS IN USING AND BEING AROUND CLOSE PROXIMITY TO HORSES. THOSE RISKS INCLUDE BODILY INJURY AND DEATH. I UNDERSTAND THAT HORSES ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND CAPABLE OF SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MOVEMENTS DESPITE THEIR PRIOR HISTORY. I FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT HORSES ARE EASILY FRIGHTENED BY SOUND, SUDDEN MOVEMENT, UNFAMILIAR OBJECTS, SMELLS, PERSONS, OR OTHER ANIMALS AND THAT THEY MAY RUN, BITE, BUCK, OR KICK. I UNDERSTAND THAT HORSES MAY ALSO ENCOUNTER NATURAL HAZARDS, SUCH AS SURFACE OR SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS AND MAY REACT UNPREDICTABLY AND THAT THEY MAY EVEN COLLIDE WITH OTHER OBJECTS, PERSONS, OR ANIMALS. I UNDERSTAND THAT RIDERS CAN ALSO FALL OFF OF HORSES AND INJURE THEMSELVES.

    In consideration for permission to use horses and equipment on the premises known as Hope Rides and to remain on those premises, I voluntarily agree to the terms of this RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND HOLD HARMLESS. I have acquainted myself with rules of safety applicable to any involvement with horses and their environment, and I understand that it is not anyone else’s obligation to teach them to me.

    I hereby represent that I am capable of using and being in close proximity to horses and their environment. I further represent that I am competent and capable to participate in the activities I will be participating in.

    I agree to personally assume the risks associated with my presence at Hope Rides. Therefore, I hereby release, waive, and forever discharge Hope Rides, its owners, shareholders, employees, agents, officers, and directors from any and every claim, demand, action, or right of action, of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, arising from or by reason of any bodily injury or personal injuries known or unknown, death, or property damage resulting during my presence at Hope Rides, whether or not such injury, property damage, or death is caused by negligence. I assume 100% responsibility for the risk of bodily injury, death, or property damage, directly or indirectly arising as a result of my presence at Hope Rides and hold Hope Rides and its owners, employees, agents, officers, and directors harmless for any liability therefore. This release shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota. If any portion of this release is held invalid by a court, it is agreed that the remainder of this release shall continue in full legal force and effect notwithstanding the invalidity of any portion of it.

    If I have requested that you allow a minor child or children of mine to be present at Hope Rides, then the provisions of this release and hold harmless shall apply to such child or children. I represent that I have the legal authority to enter into this release on behalf of the minor child or children. This release is given on behalf of myself, spouse, legal representatives, administrators, executors, heirs, and assigns and in the case of any child or children of mine, on behalf of them, their legal representatives, administrators, executors, heirs, and assigns. This release is an ongoing release and remains in effect until I have revoked it in writing.

    I understand that this document is a contract and agree that if a lawsuit is led against Hope Rides, its owners, shareholders, agents, and/or employees for any injury or damages in breach of this release, I will pay all attorneys’ fees and cost incurred to defend that lawsuit.

    I HAVE READ THIS DOCUMENT. I UNDERSTAND IT IS AN AGREEMENT AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE AND A RELEASE AND INDEMNITY FOR ALL CLAIMS.

    I ACKNOWLEDGE AND AFFIRM THAT I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS RELEASE, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS MEANING, AND SIGN THIS RELEASE VOLUNTARILY.
