This Release of Liability Owner Rider form is a legal document designed for riders engaging in equine activities, such as horseback riding or taking lessons. Its main purpose is to protect facility owners by ensuring that riders acknowledge the inherent risks involved in these activities. By signing this form, riders release the facility from liability for injuries or damages they may incur while using the facilityâs services, thus differing from other general liability forms by specifically addressing equine-related risks.

Inherent Risks and Assumption of Risk: Riders acknowledge the natural dangers that come with equine activities and assume all associated risks.
Release of Claims: Riders waive the right to pursue claims for personal injuries or property damage against the facility, even if negligence is involved.
Indemnity: Riders agree to defend and hold the manager harmless from any claims resulting from their use of the facility.
Health of Horse: Riders must warrant that any horse they bring is free from disease, ensuring the safety of all involved.
Contract Limitations: The form specifies damage limitations and deadlines for filing claims.
