29 Baymare Rd., Bell Canyon, CA 91307


SAGE CREEK STABLES & BELL CANYON EQUESTRIAN CENTER

COMBINED WAIVER, RELEASE OF LIABILITY, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING DOCUMENT.

I, the undersigned, on behalf of myself and/or my minor child(ren), in consideration for being permitted to enter the premises, handle, ride, or otherwise interact with horses or participate in any activities at Sage Creek Stables and Bell Canyon Equestrian Center (collectively, “Stable”), hereby acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Assumption of Risk

I understand and acknowledge that equestrian activities are inherently dangerous. I voluntarily assume all risks of injury, illness, death, or property damage, including but not limited to:

  • Equine behavior: Horses may bite, kick, bolt, rear, spook, stumble, buck, or react unpredictably to their environment.

  • Environmental hazards: Slippery or uneven terrain, holes, mud, dust, wild animals, bees, and inclement weather may pose dangers.

  • Facility conditions: Risks from grooming tools, equipment, stalls, fences, and other facility structures.


Other risks: Exposure to illness, including viruses; contact with tractors, vehicles, and trailers; and dangers associated with trailering/loading horses.

2. Helmet and Attire Requirement

All riders must wear an ASTM/SEI-certified riding helmet at all times while mounted. Long pants and boots are also required. Failure to wear protective gear is done at the rider's own risk.

3. Medical and Veterinary Emergencies

Stable personnel have my permission to take prudent action in the event of an emergency, including but not limited to seeking medical or veterinary care. I agree to be responsible for all resulting costs.

4. Wildfire Risk Acknowledgment

I understand that wildfires are a known and unpredictable hazard in this region. While Stable will make good-faith efforts to protect horses and equipment, I acknowledge:

  • Evacuation resources (e.g., trailers, drivers, fuel) may be limited or unavailable.
  • Emergency conditions may prevent access or require triage.
  • Stable does not guarantee the safety of all horses or property in a wildfire emergency.

5. Responsibility for Guests and Horses

I am responsible for the conduct and safety of any horse(s), guests, family members, agents, or clients I bring onto the property. All individuals must sign this waiver prior to entering the facility or participating in activities.

6. Indemnification and Release of Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by California law, I:

  • Release and discharge Sage Creek Stables, Bell Canyon Equestrian Center, their owners, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates (“Released Parties”) from all liability for any injury, death, loss, or damage arising from equestrian activities, including those caused by the negligence of the Released Parties.
  • Agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties against any claims, actions, costs, or demands (including attorney’s fees) arising out of my or my child(ren)’s participation in equestrian activities or presence on the property.
  • Waive all claims, known or unknown, and expressly waive the protections of California Civil Code §1542.

7. Governing Law & Severability

This agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. If any part of this agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

BY SIGNING BELOW, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPTED ALL TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
