This document is a full release and indemnity agreement whereby PARTICIPANT is releasing and indemnifying PROVIDER from various inherent risks, known and unknown involving various recreational activities including, but not limited to, horses and horse-type activities and further releasing PROVIDER from PROVIDER'S negligence, if any, and, further releasing PROVIDER from any results of the inherent risks and PROVIDER'S negligence, such results including, but not limited to, property damage, bodily and personal injury, illness, paralysis, or death.

2) That a horse may, at any time, without warning, and for no reason, jump up, forward, backward, or sideways;
3) That a horse may become uncontrollable, run wildly, buck, bite, kick, rear up, or step on feet or other body parts without warning;
4) Horses become tired, stressed, cantankerous, and their behavior is unpredictable;
5) A horse may trip, stumble, and/or fall down when being led, ridden, or otherwise attended to;
6) That weather, terrain, other animals, and/or people and other PARTICIPANTS may adversely affect a horse's behavior;
7) That these risks, and others, are inherent with horse and other activities which risks may not be anticipated, controlled, or eliminated by PROVIDER and, further, PROVIDER has no duty to do so;
8) That these risks and activities in general can cause property damage, bodily and personal injuries, illnesses, paralysis, and death to you or members of your family;
9) That PROVIDER and/or other people and PARTICIPANTS may, on occasion, be NEGLIGENT (NEGLIGENT meaning, generally, a failure to exercise ordinary or reasonable care) in their duties and responsibilities to PARTICIPANT and this NEGLIGENCE can cause property damage, bodily and personal injuries, illness, paralysis, and death to you or members of your family;
