[Collectively referred to as the “Released Claims”] Further, I am aware that horse riding is a vigorous sport involving severe cardiovascular stress in violent physical contact. I understand that it involves certain risks including but not limited to, death, serious neck and spinal injuries resulting in complete or partial paralysis, brain damage, and serious injury to virtually all bones, joints, muscles, and internal organs and that equipment provided for the participant’s protection may be inadequate to prevent serious injury. I further understand that horse riding involves a particularly high risk or head and neck injury. In addition, I understand that participation in horse riding involves activities incidental thereto, including but not limited to, travel to and from the site of the activity, participation at sites that may be remote from available medical assistants, and the possible reckless conduct of other participants. I am voluntarily agreeing to participate in this activity with knowledge of the danger involved and hereby agree on my behalf to accept any and all risks of property damage, personal injury, or death. A helmet should be worn by the undersigned at all times while riding a horse on above property. In the event of a helmet is not worn the undersigned assumes full responsibility for any injuries incurred.

I, on behalf of myself, and my estate heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators, and assigns, further agree to indemnity and hold harmless the Released Parties, together and individually, in the event any claim is made against them or/and of them, related in any manner or arising directly or indirectly from the Released Claims, or any of them or the effects thereof even if it is alleged or proven that any such claims arise from negligence, including gross negligence, or wrong doing on the part of the Released Parties or any related individual/organization. I understand that this waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of Tennessee and agree that if any portion is held invalid, the remainder of the waiver will continue in full legal force and effect. I affirm that I am of legal age and am freely signing this agreement. I have read this form in fully understand that by signing this form, I, on behalf of the participant and myself are giving up legal rights and/or remedies which may be available to me and the participant against the Released Party.
