Waiver and Release of Liability
I, for myself and/or my minor child or legal ward, request permission to participate in equine/farm animal activities on premises owned, leased, or used by Raul Gonzalez dba Not That Lucky Photo. These activities may include riding, handling, caring for, boarding, buying, or viewing horses.
Definitions: “Released Parties” include Raul Gonzalez dba Not That Lucky Photo, its owners, members, facility property owners, lessors, lessees, trainers, agents, employees, staff, officers, and partners.
Acknowledgment of Risks and Rider/Handler Responsibility: I understand that horses are unpredictable and powerful. They may jump, run, kick, buck, rear up, or bite, which can cause injuries or death. I accept these risks and assume responsibility for any injuries or damages to myself or my minor child or legal ward. Upon mounting/handling a horse, I understand that the rider/handler is in primary control. The released parties are not responsible for the rider/handler’s actions or the horse’s behavior. I agree to wear an approved riding helmet at all times while mounted.
Assumption of Risk: With full knowledge of the risks, I hereby expressly assume all risks for any bodily injury or property damage sustained by me or my minor child or legal ward while involved in equine/farm animal activity with the Released Parties. This includes any related medical expenses or lost time from work, school, or other activities.
Release and Waiver: I release, hold harmless and discharge the released parties from all claims for injuries or property damage to myself or my minor child or legal ward, whether or not caused by negligence or gross negligence of the Released Parties or by equipment defects.
No Lawsuit Agreement: I agree not to sue the released parties for any injury or property damage. If I violate this agreement, I will be liable for all legal fees and expenses incurred by the released parties whether or not I prevail in such lawsuit.
Indemnification: I will indemnify and reimburse the Released Parties for any injury or property damage caused to third parties by my actions or the actions of my minor child or legal ward, or against any suit brought by my minor child/legal ward. This includes covering all legal fees and expenses of the Released Parties.
Governing Law: This agreement is governed by Texas law. If any part is found invalid, the remaining terms will still apply.
