I do hereby:
1. RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Hands and Hearts for Horses Inc., their operators, horse owners, and each of them, their officers, agents, employees, leasees, and participants (all hereafter collectively referred to as RELEASEES) from any and all claims, loss, damage, and liability to the UNDERSIGNED, his/her personal representatives, assigns, heirs, next of kin, or anyone claiming through them, arising out of any liability or negligence of RELEASEES which causes the UNDERSIGNED injury, death, damages, or property damages. I HEREBY COVENANT to hold RELEASEES harmless and indemnify RELEASEES for any claim, judgment, or expense including attorney’s fees and costs of litigation RELEASEES may incur arising out of my activities or presence, or travel to or from, at or on the farm or on the property of RELEASEES or at horse shows.
2. UNDERSTAND that my entry onto the farm or premises of RELEASEES, riding, showing, or attending horse shows involves DANGER AND RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH, that conditions of horseback riding and horses change from time to time and may become more HAZARDOUS, and that there is INHERENT DANGER in horse and riding which I appreciate and VOLUNTARILY ASSUME because I CHOOSE TO DO SO. I have observed horses and riding of the type that I seek to participate in and I have inspected the grounds, horse, and equipment provided. I further know that other riders, horses, and participants pose a danger to me; nevertheless, I VOLUNTARILY ELECT TO ACCEPT ALL RISKS connected therewith in my participation.
3. I verify that no representations or inducements have been made to me to sign this Release. I further expressly agree that the foregoing RELEASE, WAIVER, AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the law of the state in which I participate in activities conducted by the RELEASES and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, not withstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
WARNING
Under Georgia law, an equine activity sponsor or equine professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities, pursuant to Chapter 12 of Title 4 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated.
The undersigned has read, voluntarily signed, and understands that this release and waiver of all liability and indemnity agreement fully releases Hands and Hearts for Horses from any liability to the undersigned.
Important Information and Acceptances
General Liability Release
Liability Release:
I, or my child, would like to volunteer for the Hands and Hearts for Horses therapeutic riding program. I acknowledge the risks and potential for risks of horses and horseback riding. However, I feel that the possible benefits to myself/my child/my ward are greater than the risk assumed. I hereby, intending to be legally bound, for myself, my heirs and assigns, executors or administrators, waive and release forever all claims for damages against Hands and Hearts for Horses, their Board of Directors or Trustees, Instructors, Therapists, Aides, Volunteers, and/or Employees for any and all injuries and/or losses I/my child/my ward may sustain while volunteering at any Hands and Hearts for Horses program. I understand that for the purpose of assisting volunteers in providing safe and responsible services to students, Hands and Hearts for Horses will release information pertaining to the student’s disability as necessary.
