2024 FHC Waiver and Release (Updated Aug 2023)

Firefly Horse Co. Wellness Retreat Center

Waiver and Release for Equine & Animal Related Activities

Please read the following carefully and indicate your understanding and agreement to these statements by signing below.

I understand and believe that the use, handling, or riding of a horse & other animals involves a risk of physical injury. I further know that any horse and/or animals upon the property, regardless of its training and usual past behavior may act or react unpredictably at any time. With full awareness of the foregoing, I am knowingly and voluntarily engaging in equine activities and/or other animal activities sponsored by Firefly Horse Co. (FHC), their employees, or any of its’ subcontractors. The possibility of injury to myself is accepted as a risk inherent in work with or activities around horses and other animals present; this includes but is not limited to any equipment or arenas / property used in activities with horses and animals that may be present.

I understand that safety in working with horses and misc. animals, whether riding or on the ground, requires mental alertness and a moderate degree of physical fitness.

I agree to abide by and follow facility rules and regulations which are posted on site.

It is recommended that all riders wear protective helmets, which are provided onsite for your convenience. It is REQUIRED that any child younger than 18 years of age MUST wear a helmet when riding. It is my understanding that a helmet is available and has been offered for my own or my child’s safety.

I also understand that I must and will use my own judgement where the situation demands it. I understand that all equine & all animal activities are entirely voluntary and that I may elect not to comply with any suggested act. FHC, any of its’ subcontractors, and other participants, are entitled to my good faith efforts to respond to the exercise directives, but are not entitled to nor expect absolute obedience. It is expected that I will be alert and thinking at all times while engaged in equine & all animal activities.

I have read and understand Montana Code Annotated for Horse Use.
