WAIVER OF RIGHT TO SUE AND ASSUMPTION OF ALL RISKS

Warning: Liability actions prohibited except as provided in 3.1-796.133, an equine activity sponsor or an equine professional shall not be liable for any injury to or death of a participant engaged in an equine activity.

Acknowledgement of Risks: I realize that there is an inherent danger in the use of any saddle animal and that travel with or upon a saddle animal may involve hazards including, but not limited to, uneven or unstable ground or road surfaces, trees, branches, rocks, stones, gravel, mud, water, and/or objects on the ground or roadway; that weather can create slippery conditions associated with fog drip, rain, sleet, ice and snow; that motor vehicles, other horses and riders, equipment failure, my ability to control or direct an animal, and that movement, noise, and contact with objects may frighten or cause an animal to move unpredictably and with force; that I may suffer accidents or illnesses in remote places where there are no available medical facilities; and that no warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, is being made as to the habits, disposition, suitability, nature or physical condition of any animal. I realize that personal property may be lost or damaged, that certain foreseeable and unforeseeable events can contribute to the unpredictability of the risks, dangers and hazards of the activity; that wearing a helmet and proper footwear are basic precautions; and that I should ask about other potential risks, dangers and hazards and recommended precautions and procedures.

In consideration, therefore, for the privilege of riding and/or working around horses at Oak Hill Thoroughbreds L.L.C. & Equestrian Center, I hereby agree to hold harmless and indemnify Oak Hill Thoroughbreds L.L.C. & Equestrian Center, and further release them from any liability or responsibility for accident, damage, injury, illness or death to myself or to any horse owned by myself or to any family member or spectator sponsored by me, while on the premises of Oak Hill Thoroughbreds L.L.C. & Equestrian Center.
