REPRESENTATION, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE AGREEMENT
I, the undersigned race rider, hereby sign the following Representation and Release in consideration of being permitted to participate in the Foxhall Farm Cup Team Chase, and/or the Full Cry Cup.
I hereby certify that I fully understand that riding in races and riding or handling horses is inherently dangerous to the participants and that there is a serious possibility that I will suffer injury or death as a result of participation. I hereby state that I have been given notice of the risks including, but not limited to, (i) the propensity of an equine to behave in dangerous ways which may result in injury to the participant; (ii) the inability to predict an equine’s reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons, or animals; and (iii) hazards of surface conditions. I expressly agree to assume all the above-described risks and all other risks of riding in and otherwise participating in the races.
In order to induce the Green Spring Valley Hounds, Inc. to allow me to participate in the Chase, I represent to it that I am properly trained and competent to ride/participate in the Chase without endangering other participants or myself. I further represent that I am responsible for my actions at any time and will provide a safe conveyance without unduly jeopardizing my safety of that of others. This agreement also represents that I will be properly equipped for the endeavor and I am solely responsible for the required equipment.
As further inducement to the Green Spring Valley Hounds, Inc. to allow me to ride in and otherwise participate in the Chase, I agree to release, hold harmless and fully indemnify The Green Spring Valley Hounds, their members, their committees, committee members, officers, directors, owners, employees, agents, officials, landowners, and other persons acting on behalf of The Green Spring Valley Hounds from any and all liability, claims, actions, causes of action or demands, including attorneys’ fees and costs, that I might otherwise have or assert for any injury or other claim or other matter arising out of or related to my riding in or otherwise participating in these races. I further agree to release, hold harmless and indemnify all demands, including attorneys’ fees and costs, that I might otherwise have or assert for any injury or other claim or other matter arising out of or related to my riding in or otherwise participating in this Chase.
