I am 18 years of age or older. In part consideration for West Fields Ranch, L.L.C. ( WFR) allowing me to ride one or more of their horses from time to time, I assume all risks associated with this activity. WFR is not liable for inherent risks of equine activity as defined in 78-27a-101, Utah Code:
"Inherent risk" with regard to equine or livestock activities means those dangers or conditions which are an integral part of equine or livestock activities, which may include:
(a) the propensity of the animal to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons on or around them;
(b) the unpredictability of the animal's reaction to outside stimulation such as sounds, sudden movement, and unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals;
(c) collisions with other animals or objects; or
(d) the potential of a participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to the participant or others, such as failing to maintain control over the animal or not acting within his or her ability.
I recognize that horses can be excitable, difficult to control, unpredictable; that they can shy, kick, bite, buck, and run away unexpectedly and suddenly; that accidents and unexpected events can happen to anyone at anytime. I also understand that these risks increase as the speed, pace or gait is increased. Fast riding is the most risky. I understand that WFR does not have trained first aid responders nor extensive first aid supplies. I understand that ground can be slippery or uneven with various obstacles seen and unseen. I assume all risks of these and similar conditions. I also assume all risks related to the horses behavior and my ability to handle it.
I agree to follow the directions of the guide.
Recommended Clothing and Equipment for Horse Riding: I understand that the following items are recommended for horse riding (in addition to clothing suitable for the weather at the location we are to ride): Helmet with proper fit, Boots with a heel, Long pants, Long sleeved shirt, Gloves.
WFR has a variety of sizes of Helmets but does not provide any of the other clothing or equipment. I agree to be responsible for choosing a helmet that fits properly or to provide my own helmet if they do not have one that fits me properly. If I choose not to wear a helmet or choose not to provide my own helmet, I assume all risk resulting from that choice.
I will provide my own health, accident and disability insurance to cover any injury I may sustain and to accept the amounts, even if $0, provided by that coverage (or $0 due to failure to provide that coverage) as full and complete settlement of all claims against WFR for injury due to participation in these activities. I will hold West Fields Ranch, L.L.C., Byron Harward and all members of his family and any others that assist West Fields Ranch, LLC in these activities harmless and blameless for any injury or loss to myself or my property which occurs while participating in these activities and agree to indemnify them from any damage, cost or liability that may occur in connection with my participation.
THIS AGREEMENT IS CONTINUING and is consideration for WFR allowing me to participate in any future rides or related activities where I ride or use WFR's horses, equipment or facilities.
