Release of Liability

I, the “Participant” named at the bottom of this page or his/her parent or legal guardian, hereby acknowledge that I have voluntarily applied to participate in an activity of horse care and equine medical needs, horseback riding, horse and rider training, and/or being in the physical close proximity of horses (collectively, “Horse Care”) at Sundance Horse Rescue, Inc. (SHR), located at 19828 Valley Vista Way, Penn Valley, CA 95946, 16118 Del Mar Way, Penn Valley, CA 95946 or any other location or facility operated by SHR (each, a “Horse Property”).
I UNDERSTAND that:

A horse may act or react unpredictably, regardless of its training and usual past behavior.
It is my responsibility to inspect equipment for safety whether owned or borrowed.
I may encounter risks due to variations in terrain and/or environment that are my responsibility, including, without limitation, equipment, vehicles, water, ground conditions, domestic or wild animals, trees and stumps, driveways, gates and other obstacles, whether they are obvious or not obvious, man-made or natural.
It is the SHR policy that all riders must wear an ASHA current approved safety helmet while seated on a horse.

I ASSUME ALL RISKS (including, without limitation, those listed above) related to my participation in Horse Care and my presence on a Horse Property.

In consideration for being allowed to participate in Horse Care and/or permission to enter a Horse Property, on behalf of myself and my next of kin, heirs and representatives, I release from all liability and promise not to sue each of Sundance Horse Rescue, Inc., Marjorie McCoy, Denise Barredo, Patricia Slater, Bill Kaplan, Leslie and Steve Schoradt, their family members, owners, employees, officers, directors, volunteers and agents (collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all claims, including claims of the Releasees’ negligence, resulting in any physical or psychological injury, death, illness, damages, or economic or emotional loss, that I may suffer because of my participation in Horse Care or my presence on a Horse Property.

I agree to hold the Releasees harmless from any and all claims, including attorneys’ fees, that may occur as a result of my participation in Horse Care or my presence on a Horse Property. If a Releasee incurs any of these types of expenses, I agree to reimburse the Releasee. If I need medical treatment, I agree to be financially responsible for any costs incurred as a result of such treatment. I am aware and understand that I should carry my own health insurance.

I UNDERSTAND that this document is written to be as broad and inclusive as legally permitted by the State of California. I agree that if any portion is held invalid or unenforceable, I will continue to be bound by the remaining terms. I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS CONTENTS. I AM AWARE THAT I AM RELEASING CERTAIN LEGAL RIGHTS THAT I OTHERWISE MAY HAVE AND I SIGN IT OF MY OWN FREE WILL.

I UNDERSTAND that by typing my name exactly as it appears below, it signifies that I am completing this form using an electronic signature and will serve as electronic representation of my signature, just the same as a pen-and-paper signature. By signing electronically, I am certifying that I have read and understand the Release of Liability and agree to electronically sign.
