Horseback Riding Release Form | USA
Protecting Your Business and Employees
If you offer horseback riding lessons or activities to the public, it is essential to safeguard your business and your employees against potential legal claims that may arise from these activities. One effective way to do this is by requiring all clients to sign a Release Form prior to participating in any lessons or riding sessions.
Client Signature Requirements
Every student and rider must sign the Release Form before they can participate in lessons or horseback riding activities. If a client is unwilling to sign the form, they should not be permitted on or near the horses under any circumstances. For riders who are minors, the Release Form must be signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk
By signing the Release Form, the rider acknowledges and accepts the risks inherent in horseback riding and agrees to take responsibility for those risks.
Release of Liability
