Today's Date: April 25, 2024 By this agreement made and entered into this day of April 25, 2024 by and between participant, hereinafter referred to as "I" and Millbrook Equestrian LLC and Alexia Honegger, who resides at 38643 CR 13, Elizabeth, CO 80107 hereinafter referred to as "Instructor." IT IS HEREBY AGREED TO AS FOLLOWS: ** Please note there is a stringent 24 hour cancellation policy on all lessons ** 1. That, I, the undersigned, do for myself and on behalf of my child or legal ward, hereby voluntarily request to participate in riding instruction as a student(s) with INSTRUCTOR, and that student will either ride his or her own horse or school horses provided by Millbrook Equestrian LLC for instructional purposes. 2. That parent or guardian and student understand that horses are unpredictable by nature; that when frightened or angry or under stress, a horse's natural instincts are to jump forward or sideways, to run away from danger at a trot or gallop, to kick, to buck, to rear up in front, or to bite; that horses are extremely powerful; and that if a rider falls to the ground, the fall distance will be generally from 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet. I understand these risks, and I voluntarily assume these risks and dangers. 3. That parent or guardian and student understands that upon mounting the horse and taking up the reins the rider is in primary control of the horse, and that INSTRUCTOR is not responsible for the results of the student's actions or inactions. The rider further agrees to not abuse, misuse or deliberately agitate the horse as these actions may result in increased risk to myself and others. 4. That I have been advised that student's should purchase and wear a helmet or hard hat and wear it to prevent horse related injuries. 5. LIABILITY RELEASE: That I understand that, except in the event of INSTRUCTOR'S wanton and willful negligence, I am responsible for bodily injury or property damage which I or my child or legal ward should sustain on Millbrook Equestrian's premises and/or trails and/or while riding a horse, and/or while in transit to or at horse shows, trail rides, or similar expeditions, and for any time I or my child or legal ward shall lose from employment or school or other activity, and for medical expenses or any other expenses incurred because of such bodily injury or property damage; and that I hereby, for myself, my heirs, administrators and assigns release and discharge the property owners (Paul and Rebecca Herskovitz and Flintwood22 LLC), owners, operators, and sponsors of INSTRUCTOR and their respective servants, agents, officers and all other participants of and from all claims, demands, actions and causes of action for such injuries sustained to my person or that of my child or legal charge and/or property. WARNING: Under Colorado Law, an 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 section 13-21-119, Colorado Revised Statutes. 6. That the student is currently covered by accident-medical insurance and will remain insured for the duration of all riding instruction at INSTRUCTOR. 7. That this agreement is entered into in the state of CO and will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of that state. 8. That all fees are payable at the beginning of the month and $25 late fee will be applied to bills paid after the 10th of the month. I, THE UNDERSIGNED, BEING OF LEGAL AGE AND OF SOUND MIND AND NOT BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, DRUGS OR INTOXICANTS, HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT AND RELEASE. I ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT THIS DATE. |
