Since
the use of firearms and/or horses can be dangerous, all shooters and people
entering the area assume all risk by signing this release.
I,
__________________________________________, hereby acknowledge that I have
voluntarily applied to participate in the sport of “mounted shooting”, and
assume the unavoidable risks inherent in all horse-related activities,
including but not limited to bodily injury and physical harm to horse, rider
and spectator. I acknowledge that horse
related activities are dangerous and that horses themselves have unpredictable
temperaments which can sometimes cause injury.
As
lawful consideration of being permitted to enter upon the premises upon which
this event is conducted and of being permitted to participate in these
activities or otherwise use the facilities, I KNOWLINGLY ASSUME THE UNAVOIDABLE
RISKS INHERENT IN ALL MOUNTED SHOOTING-RELATED ACTIVITIES, WHETHER KNOWN OR
UNKNOWN, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BODILY INJURY TO HORSE, RIDER AND
SPECTATOR, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING ON BEHALF OF MYSELF
AND MY SPOUSE AND FAMILY, IF ANY:
1.
I
HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE AND DISCHARGE AND CONVENANT TO NOT SUE, MAKE A CLAIM
AGAINST THE PROPERTY OF OR OTHERWISE PROSECUTE THE OWNERS OF THE FACILITY USED
FOR COMPETITIONS OR ACTIVITIES, THE CALIFORNIA RANGE RIDERS, THEIR AGENTS,
EMPLOYEES, MEMBERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (KNOWN COLLECTIVELY AS “RELEASEES”) FROM
ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM MY PARTICIPATION IN ANY EQUINE
RELATED ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO RIDING, TRAINING,
PARTICIPATION, USE OF FIREARMS, WHETHER CAUSED FROM THE PASSIVE OR ACTIVE
NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES OR OTHERWISE WHILE THE UNDERSIGNED IS PARTICIPATING IN
OR OBSERVING THE SPORTING OR RELATED ACTIVITIES ON THE PREMISES OF 1652Old
Stage Road, Salinas, CA.
2.
I also expressly
waive any rights that 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 her/his favor at the time of executing the
release, which if known by her/him must have materially affect her settlement
with her/his debtor.”
3.
I agree that I will
DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS RELEASES AGAINST ALL CLAIMS DEMANDS, AND
CAUSES OF ACTIONS, INCLUDING COURT COSTS AND ACTUAL ATTORNEY’S FEES, ARISING
FROM ANY PROCEEDING OR LAWSUIT BROUGHT AGAINST THEM DUE TO ANY ACT DONE BY ME
OR MY HORSE(S) OR FIREARM(S) OR GUESTS, OR BROUGHT BY ME OR FOR MY BENEFIT, ARISING
FROM PARTICIPATION IN ANY EQUESTRIAN OR FIREARM RELATED ACTIVITIES ON THE
AFOREMENTIONED PREMISES. IF ANY LAWSUIT
IS BROUGHT AGAINST THE RELEASEES, I AGREE THAT ALL PROCEEDINGS MUST TAKE PLACE
IN THE COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO.
4.
This agreement is
binding on my executors, heirs and assigns.
It contains the entire agreement among the parties. It shall be construed, enforced with and
governed by the laws of the State of California.
