EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY RELEASE FORM
I understand that any equine activity is a high-risk sport. Horses may act in an unpredictable manner which could result in injury. I hereby assume all risks and further do hereby release and hold harmless Tuskey Dressage LLC and all associates from all liability from any accidents, damage, death, injury or illness to myself and my property including the horse(s) which I will ride and/or handle, as well as any family member or spectator accompanying the undersigned on the premise. Horses may react in unpredictable ways to sounds, movements, objects, persons, or animals and this may cause damage to property or injury or death to persons.
I understand the inherent risks and potential dangers that I could incur in mounting, riding, walking, working with or feeding any horse; including, but not limited to, any interactions with other horses on the premises. These inherent risks include, but are not limited to; the propensity of any horse to run off; spook; step on appendages; buck; rear; kick; bite; shy; stumble; fall; react unpredictably to sounds; movement or unfamiliar objects, persons or other animals; certain hazards such as seen or unseen conditions of the ground; collisions with other animals; the limited availability of emergency medical care; and the potential for other equine participants, boarders or guests to act in a negligent manner that may cause or contribute to injury to me or to my horse such as failing to maintain control of their horse or not acting within their riding ability.
I have been fully warned and advised by Bethany Tuskey and Tuskey Dressage LLC, that I should purchase and wear protective headgear (riding helmet), and that the wearing of such headgear while mounting, riding, dismounting, and otherwise being around horses, may prevent or reduce severity of some head injuries and even prevent death from happening as the result of a fall or other occurrence.
Helmets are mandatory for all riders under the age of 18.
Notice: A person who is engaged for compensation in the rental of equines or equine equipment or tack or in the instruction of a person in the riding or driving of an equine or in being a passenger upon an equine is not liable for the injury or death of a person involved in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities, as defined in section 895.481(1)(e)of the Wisconsin Statute
