ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISKS
I understand that horseback riding involves risks, including:
• Falls during mounting, riding, or dismounting
• Kicks, bites, sudden stops, or unexpected horse movement
• Uneven ground, branches, and slippery trail surfaces
• Contact with other riders, horses, fences, or gates
• Saddle or tack movement and equipment problems
I understand that these examples do not describe every possible risk.

☐ I will tell staff about equipment discomfort or a concern before continuing.

Questions to settle

Review before you publish.

Does this template include the equine notice required in my state?

No. It is a planning structure. Your counsel should determine which equine notices, wording, and display requirements apply to the stable and the activities offered.

Should grooming or leading a horse be included?

Yes, when participants do those activities. Ground handling brings contact with horses before anyone rides; describe the supervision and handling rules that actually apply in those areas.

Can a returning rider reuse a lesson waiver for a trail ride?

Check the covered activities and your renewal policy. Trail conditions, trip length, and assistance differ from arena lessons, so staff should confirm the signed version accurately describes the new experience.
