Caution:

Participants acknowledge that horseback riding is an inherently hazardous activity involving unpredictable animals and changing environmental conditions, and that risks cannot be eliminated even with proper supervision, trained staff, and safety procedures. These risks may include, but are not limited to, falls from the horse, sudden movements, loss of balance, collisions with natural or fixed objects, uneven terrain, insect bites, allergic reactions, muscle strains, sprains, bruises, cuts, dehydration, fatigue, and aggravation of pre-existing medical conditions. Horses may react unexpectedly to sounds, weather, wildlife, or other stimulus, which may increase the risk of injury. By choosing to participate, individuals voluntarily assume these risks, agree to follow all safety instructions, wear required protective equipment, ride within their physical abilities, and immediately report any discomfort, unsafe conditions, or injuries to staff.
