I acknowledge that horseback riding is a sport which carries inherent risks of injury and damage to me, my horse and property. I knowingly assume all risks, whether known or unknown, regarding horseback riding. I hereby release the gold Country Horsemen’s Association (hereinafter referred to as G C H A) from all liability for any act of negligence or want of ordinary care on the part of GCHA or any of its agents.

In consideration of my participation in events organized or sponsored by GCHA, I waive, release and discharge GCHA, its directors, officers, agents and members, their representatives, heirs, executors and assigns from any and all claims of liability for injury or damage to myself, my animals or my property arising out of my participation. This agreement is binding upon my executors, heirs and assigns.

I expressly waive any rights I may have under California Civil Code 1542, which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him might have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

I agree that I will indemnify and hold harmless GCHA, its officers, directors, members and agents against all claims, demands and causes of action, including court costs and actual attorney fees, arising from any proceeding or lawsuits brought by or prosecuted for my benefit in which this release is upheld. GCHA, its agents and employees shall not be liable for any damage which may accrue from any cause or as a result of fire, theft, running away, state of health, injury to person, horse or property.

I acknowledge that I have read this Release of Liability and I understand the contents.
