I acknowledge that I have voluntarily chosen to participate in the Phil Haugen Horsemanship clinic produced by Haugen Performance Horses and Phil Haugen Horsemanship (the “Clinic”) described below.

I acknowledge the inherent risks associated with being in and around equine facilities and equine activities and agree to assume such risks while I attend and participate at the Clinic.  The inherent risks include, but are not limited to, the propensity of animals to buck, bite, kick, shy, stumble, rear, fall, run, and trample all of which may result in the injury or death of persons in, on or around them.  

I acknowledge and agree that I assume all risks associated with the Clinic, I am voluntarily participating in the Clinic and all activities associated with the Clinic with the knowledge of the risks involved and I hereby agree to accept any and all risk of injury, death, and/or property damage whether foreseen or unforeseen, known or unknown.

As consideration for being permitted to participate in the Clinic, I hereby release Phil Haugen, Haugen Real Estate LLC d/b/a Haugen Performance Horses and Phil Haugen Horsemanship and their agents, employees, representatives, members, managers, sponsors, volunteers and affiliated companies (collectively, “Haugen”) from any and all claims related to any loss, injury or damage that may be sustained by me, including loss of life, personal injury or property damage, whether caused by the negligence of Haugen or by my negligence in combination with that of Haugen while I am attending or participating in the Clinic.

I agree that neither I nor my legal representatives, including my family, spouse, heirs, assigns and personal representative, will sue, make a claim against, or attach the property of Haugen for any injury or damage to my person or property arising out of the negligence of Haugen or otherwise, or arising out of my negligence in combination with that of Haugen while I am attending or participating in the Clinic.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this document shall be interpreted to release Haugen from liability for any acts or omissions by Haugen which constitute gross negligence, willful and intentional wrongdoing, or criminal conduct.
I understand and agree that, except as excluded in the preceding paragraph, the terms of this document extend to all claims and demands that I might have as a result of my attending or participating in the Clinic or every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected.

I agree to indemnify and hold Haugen harmless for any injuries, losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, penalties, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which arise as a result of my negligent or intentional act or omission while I am participating in the Clinic.

I understand and agree that if I am under the age of eighteen (18) years at the time I sign this release, my parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must also execute this release.

Should any portion or clause of this release be found or declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, unconstitutional, or otherwise invalid, such finding shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder, and the unenforceable portion shall be severed from this document without affecting the validity of the remainder.

The terms and effect of this document shall be governed and controlled by the laws of the State of Oklahoma, and jurisdiction as to all matters pertaining to my attendance or participation in the Clinic or execution of this document shall be vested solely in the Courts of Oklahoma.
