1. Assumption of Inherent Risks. A. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EQUINE ACTIVITIES. THOSE RISKS INCLUDE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND DEATH. HORSES ARE OF THEIR OWN WILL AND MAY ACT UNPREDICTABLY. HORSES ARE CAPABLE OF SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED, AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MOVEMENTS. PARTICIPANT APPRECIATES THAT ALL HORSES ARE EASILY FRIGHTENED BY SOUND, MOVEMENT, UNFAMILIAR OBJECTS, ODORS, PERSONS, OTHER ANIMALS, NATURAL HAZARDS, AND ARTIFICIAL CONDITIONS AMONG OTHER THINGS. B. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIST ALL OF THE INHERENT RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH EQUINE ACTIVITIES. SOME OF THE INHERENT RISKS INCLUDE: HORSES MAY KICK, RUN, BOLT, BITE, BUCK, STRIKE, FALL DOWN, TRIP, SLIP, JUMP, OR FLIP OVER WITH NO WARNING. SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH MAY RESULT FROM PETTING, FEEDING, WATERING, BRUSHING, TACKING, SADDLING, MOUNTING, DISMOUNTING, SHOEING, VETTING, RIDING, OR OTHERWISE BEING ON OR AROUND ANY HORSE. C. I understand that the inherent risks of Equine are serious and that Equine is a dangerous activity regardless of the care taken by Church and its employees. I have read the previous paragraphs and 1) I know the nature of the risks associated with Equine; 2) I understand the demands of this activity relative to my physical condition and riding skill level, and 3) I appreciate the potential impact of the types of injuries that may result from Equine. I hereby assert that my participation in Equine activities at Church is voluntary and that I knowingly assume all of the inherent risks of the activities.

2. Waiver of Liability. A. In consideration of permission to participate in Equine and related activities at Church, today and on all future dates, I, on behalf of myself, my spouse, my heirs, personal representatives, or assigns, do hereby release, waive, and discharge Church (including its officers, employees, volunteers, equipment manufacturers/vendors, and agents) from liability from any and all claims of whatever kind, including but not limited to ordinary negligence, arising from bodily injury, death, or property damages that relate in any way to Participant’s Equine-related activities. B. This Agreement applies to 1) personal injury (including death) from incidents or illnesses arising from Equine activities at Church (including, but not limited to, in and around the arena, mounting and dismounting, riding, while dismounted, during any instruction by the staff, and all premises including but not limited to seating areas, parking lots, barn, arena, paddocks, trails, and pastures); and to 2) any and all claims resulting from the damage to, loss of, or theft of property.

I agree to engage in good faith efforts to mediate any dispute that might arise between me and Church. Any agreement reached will be formalized by a written contractual agreement at that time. Should the issue not be resolved by mediation, I agree that the issue will be submitted to binding arbitration in Atascosa County in the State of Texas. C. Likewise, I agree that if, in spite of this contract, legal action is brought regarding a claim, (i) such legal action must be adjudicated under the laws of the State of Texas and the venue of such action must be in the District Court housed in Atascosa County in the State of Texas; and (ii) Church will be entitled to recover liquidated damages in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) in addition to Church’s actual damages and reasonable costs of enforcement of this Covenant Not to Sue, including without limitation, costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred therein, in addition to any other relief granted.
