Assumption of Risks
On my behalf and on behalf of my minor child participating in these activities, for whom I am legally responsible, I agree to the following:
I am aware and understand that activities involving horses involve many risks, dangers and hazards, including but not limited to the following:
1) Horses, which are powerful and potentially dangerous animals, may change their behaviour at any time and without warning, jump, run wildly, buck, kick, bite or step on people or things;
2) Horses may collide with other horses or objects or trip, stumble, or fall even if being attended to, ridden or led;
3) Negligence (which means in general terms, a failure to exercise ordinary or proper care) on the part of Snider Mountain Ranch, Snider Mountain Adventures Inc., Lebrun Family Foundation and their directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, representatives and volunteers, myself, my child or other participants in the activities of Snider Mountain Ranch involving the care, riding or leading of horses;
4) Equipment used in the care, riding or leading of horses may fail; and
5) Weather conditions may change while horses are being attended to, ridden or led and may present an additional danger. I am also aware that the risks, dangers and hazards referred to above exist throughout the trail, stable, practice and other areas and many are unmarked. I understand and acknowledge that no amount of caution, experience or instruction can eliminate all of the risks involved and I freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers and hazards and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage and damages or loss resulting therefrom.
