I confirm that the above pre-assessed abilities are correct and I agree that I PARTICIPATE ENTIRELY AT MY OWN RISK. I confirm to the best of my knowledge all above details are correct. I acknowledge THAT EQUESTRIANISM IS A RISK SPORT AND HOLDS A POTENTIAL DANGER and that all horses may react unpredictably on occasions. I will take reasonable precautions to keep myself and others safe, when handling and training my horse. This includes wearing a current standard hard hat, appropriate gloves and appropriate footwear. I understand that horses can respond differently in different scenarios and what might be safe in one situation/occasion may not be appropriate in another. To this end, I understand that I will need to make my own assessment as to the safety of a situation and task when my Coach/Instructor is not present. I understand that if I feel an activity or task is unsafe, then I should not proceed and that I undertake all exercises at my own risk.
