SCOPE OF AGREEMENT AND DEFINITIONS: This agreement shall be legally binding

upon me, the RIDER, and the parents or guardians thereof if a minor, my heirs, estate, assigns,

according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Any disputes by the RIDER shall be

subject to paragraph K below and litigated in Boone County, Kentucky. If any clause, phrase or

The term "HORSE" herein shall refer to all equine species. The term "HORSEBACK RIDING"

INHERENT RISK OF ACTIVITY: I understand that horseback riding is a rugged recreational

deadly and, at the least, can require more hospital days and result in more lasting residual effects

considered usable for the instruction of beginners. Horse accidents are common and, in fact, are

virtually guaranteed to occur given enough time around horses. Horse accidents are even more
