Horse Sports are a Dangerous Activity
In consideration for being permitted to participate in any way in horse sport activities and in particular this event, I,
the undersigned, understand, acknowledge and accept that:
Horse sports are a dangerous recreational activity and horses can act in a sudden and unpredictable (changeable)
way, especially if frightened or hurt.
There is a significant risk that serious INJURY or DEATH may result from horse sport activities and in particular this
event.
I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising
from the negligence of the proprietors of the Arabian Horse Society of Australia Ltd and/or the event organiser
(hereafter referred to as the “Releasees”) or others and I voluntarily PARTICIPATE at my OWN RISK and assume sole
responsibility for any injury, death or property damage I may suffer that arises from my participation in horse sport
activities.
I understand and acknowledge the dangers associated with the consumption of alcohol or any mind altering drugs
before and during the activity and I take full responsibility for any injury, loss or damage associated with their
consumption. I agree not to drink alcohol or take drugs prohibited by law before or during this event.
I agree to follow the directions of any event organiser or official and that any misconduct or refusal by me to follow
any direction of any organiser or official can result in the CANCELLATION of my participation in the event and my
immediate removal from my horse NO MATTER where that may occur. I further agree to abide by the Rules and
Conditions of this show and the official Rule Book of the Arabian Horse Society of Australia. I understand that any
such non-compliance may result in injury, death and/or permanent disability and I agree to indemnify the Releasees
against all claims made by any person as a result of my failure to comply.
I agree to wear a helmet at all times whilst riding and agree that I am solely responsible for ensuring that I wear a
suitable helmet at all times while riding and take sole responsibility for my actions.
I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release and hold
harmless and agree not to sue the proprietors of the Arabian Horse Society of Australia Ltd and/or the event
organiser, their officers, officials, volunteers, coaches, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring
agencies, sponsors, state bodies, affiliated clubs and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct
the activities (all of whom are referred to as “Releasees”) with respect to any and all injury, disability, death, or loss
or damage to person or property, whether caused by the negligence of the releasees or otherwise.
I understand that due to diseases such as equine influenza, the Department of Primary Industries, or other state or
commonwealth government bodies may restrict or prevent the movement of horses, vehicles and personnel for a
time period, otherwise known as a “standstill”. I acknowledge that a standstill is a risk of competing and agree to pay
any costs or expenses incurred by any person or organisation for and on behalf of my horse(s) as a result of the
standstill.
Effect of this Document - I have had sufficient opportunity to read this release of liability and assumption of risk
agreement, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and sign it
freely and voluntarily without inducement of any kind. I understand that my signature to this document constitutes a
complete and unconditional release of all liability of the Releasees, to the greatest extent allowed by law in the event
of me and/or the children under my care, suffering injury or death.
