·     the potential for other participant(s) to act in a negligent manner that might contribute to injury to themselves or others, such as failing to act within their ability or to maintain control over an equine.

 ___ 4)   I Freely Accept and Fully Assume All Responsibility for the inherent “RISKS” and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss which might result from the infant being a Participant.

___ 5)   I Acknowledge that it remains my Sole Responsibility for the safety of the infant Participant and for the infant to Participate within his/her own limits.

____6)  In addition to consideration given for the infant to Participate in Equine Activity, I and my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns (collectively called my “Legal Representatives)” agree:

·       To Waive All Claims that I or the infant Participant might have against the “HOST”; and

·       To Release the “HOST” from Any and All Liability for any loss, damages, injury, or expense that I, the infant Participant or our “”legal Representatives” might suffer as a result of the infant’s Participation due to any cause including any NEGLIGENCE ON THE PART OF THE “HOST”; and

·       To HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY the “HOST” from any and all liability for property damage or personal injury to the infant Participant or to any third party which might result from the infant’s Participation.
