RELEASE OF RESPONSIBILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY
WARNING: UNDER COLORADO LAW, AN EQUINE PROFESSIONAL IS NOT LIABLE FOR AN INJURY TO OR THE DEATH OF A PARTICIPANT IN EQUINE ACTIVITIES RESULTING FROM THE INHERENT RISKS OF EQUINE ACTIVITIES. C.R.S. § 13-21-119.
Poudre River Stables, LLC (“PRS”) has great concern for the safety and wellbeing of those owners who board horses on PRS property and individuals who participate in equine activities or other activities on the premises. Even those with experience around horses need to be reminded that despite the best efforts of horse owners, riders, stables staff, and instructors, there are many risks inherent to working with and around horses. By their nature, horses have the propensity to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons on or around them. Their reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement and unfamiliar objects, persons, and animals is unpredictable.
We also call to your attention the fact that people, by their careless, inattentive, and/or negligent acts, whether deliberate or by accident, may contribute to harm to themselves or others. Those who board horses and/or participate in equine activities at PRS shall take reasonable care to prevent harm to themselves and others.
Under Colorado law, persons who participate in equine activities and equine professionals, including but not limited to boarding facilities such as PRS, trainers, and teachers, are not liable for any injury to or the death of those participating in equine activities.
Please take the time to consider these issues carefully before signing below. We encourage questions about all safety issues and welcome the opportunity to address your questions and concerns.
Bearing the above admonitions in mind, I, on behalf of myself and/or on behalf of my minor child (if applicable), hereby release, waive, discharge, relinquish, and indemnify and hold harmless Poudre River Stables LLC, its owners, agents, successors, and assigns, against all actions, claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, attorney fees, judgments, liens, indebtedness and liabilities of every kind and character, either in law or equity, relating to injury, disability, death or other harm, to person, property or both, arising from my participation in or my minor child’s participation (if applicable) in equine activities as defined in C.R.S. § 13-21-119 or any other activities on Poudre River Stables, LLC property.
I have carefully read this Release of Responsibility, Assumption of Risk, and Waiver of Liability (the “Agreement”) and fully understand its contents. I am aware that I have given up substantial rights on my own behalf and/or on behalf of my minor child by signing the Agreement, and I acknowledge that I am signing the Agreement voluntarily. Neither I nor my minor child (if applicable) have any obligation to participate in the activities at PRS nor do I have any obligation to sign this Agreement.
As a parent or guardian, I have made a personal assessment of the potential risk to my minor child and accept it. I understand a suitable ASTM/SEI-approved helmet is required for all children whenever riding on PRS property and other equipment, including but not limited to proper footwear, may be required at any time.
