Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement

1. Forever RELEASE and DISCHARGE The Farm, its directors, agents, employees, instructors, and owners of the horse and stables (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Released Parties”) from any and all liabilities, claims, demands or cause of action that I may hereafter have for injuries and damages arising out of my or my child’s participation in activities at The Farm.

2. Acknowledge that horseback riding is an inherently dangerous activity and involves risks that may cause serious injury and in some cases death, because of the unpredictable nature and irrational behavior of horses, regardless of their training and past performance.

3. Acknowledge that wearing a helmet approved by ASTM/SEI for the purpose of horseback riding is a requirement for my child or me, and I understand that injury or death may result from my or my child’s participation in horseback riding even when a safety helmet approved by ASTM/SEI is worn properly.

4. Acknowledge that a horse may, without warning or any apparent cause, buck, stumble, trip, roll, fall, rear, bite, kick, run, make unpredictable movements, spook, jump obstacles, step on a person’s feet, push or shove a person; saddles or bridles may loosen or break- all of which may cause the rider to fall or be jolted, resulting in serious injury or death.

5. Understand that if I or my child am pregnant, a doctor has been consulted regarding the safety of myself, my child, or my unborn child or my child’s unborn child, and that serious injury or death to myself, my child, my unborn child, or my child’s unborn child could arise due to the dangers involved in horseback riding, as stated above.

6. Voluntarily assume the risk and danger of injury or death inherent in the handling or riding of a horse, and use of saddles, bridles, equipment and gear provided to me or my child by the released parties.

7. Release, discharge and promised not to sue the Released Parties or any loss, damages, injury (including death) or cost to my or my child’s person or property arising out of horseback riding or handling a horse, use of saddles, bridles, equipment or gear provided by the Released Parties.

8. Release the Released Parties from any claim that such Released Parties were negligent in connection with my or my child’s riding a horse, including but not limited to training or horse selection, maintenance, care, fit, or adjusting of saddles or bridles, instruction on riding skills or leading and supervising riders, which resulted in loss, damage injury or both.

9. Indemnify, and save and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any loss, liability, damage or cost they may incur arising out of or in any way connected with either my or my child’s handling or riding of a horse and/or use of any saddles, bridles, and equipment or gear provided therewith resulting from or contributed to by my own negligence.

10. Expressly agree that foregoing release and assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement is governed by the law of the State of Maryland and intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law, and that in the event any portion of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the balance of the Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any way and shall continue in full legal force and effect.

I have read this document; I understand it is a promise not to sue and to release The Farm, its owners, employees and agents, for all claims. I have made a free deliberate choice to sign this Release and Waiver as a condition to the Released Parties allowing me or my child to participate in horseback riding activities.

I agree to the Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, and Indemnity Agreement(Required)

					If you are looking for a safe place to learn, re-learn, or build on existing knowledge…Horse and Hive is the place to be! Fields are always green, horses are happy and everyone is so kind! The farm offers unique amenities that are not available all other farms; there’s a race track to condition on, a trail obstacle course to build confidence and change up the sandbox routine, and a whole gaggle of trainers who come from a variety of backgrounds and each brings something super special to the farm. As an adult who works in the horse industry, and has been formally involved with horses (and riding on and off, but mostly on) since I was 7, I have a lot to compare the farm to- and all I can say is 5 stars indeed! My pony and I can’t imagine any other place to be!!

					Our daughter takes lessons with Ms. Ellie and looks forward to her time at Horse & Hive because of the positive and encouraging experience she has there every time! Ellie’s wealth of knowledge, extensive experience (with both kids and horses) and fun-loving, yet stern when needed approach to teaching is unmatched! We highly recommend H&H Farm and applaud instructor Eleanore Featherstone. Sincerely, the Soto Family 💜

					What a JOY to share our morning ( Sat 04/14/18 )with Horse & Hive Farm.  Troop # 117 is a Special Needs Boy Scout Troop for young men with disabilities ranging from autism to non-verbal to blindness and wheelchair bound. Kaitlyn and the crew were so very patient and so caring with each of our boys and their kindness and compassion was genuine as they endeavored to see that each boy went away with not only knowledge, but a great experience.  Whether is was a gentle horse kiss on a cheek, brushing a horses’ coat, picking a hoof, or being a stall pooper-scooper, every detail was carefully thought out and planned and finished out with a ride for each scout.  Every boy had an amazing time, and every parent was so impressed by the lengths you went to to make each boy successful in what he did. Kaitlyn…..you are just beyond awesome, and we so appreciate you and your team.  Troop # 117 is already expressing desires to come back.  Thank you for such an incredible experience.
