Ride Liability Release 

I, _______________________, in consideration of the acceptance of this entry, hereby acknowledge
that I have voluntarily entered in the Gold Country Endurance Ride which is put on by the Gold Country
Endurance Riders (hereinafter referred to as "Club").

I am aware that horseback riding is a sport which carries inherent risks of injury and damage to myself,
my horse and property. I knowingly assume all risks, whether known or unknown, of horseback riding.

I hereby release and discharge the Club, it’s officers, directors, members, employees, agents, contractors,
guests, invitees, and affiliated entities from all actions, claims or demands, that I, my heirs, personal
representatives or assigns now have or may hereafter have for personal injuries or property damage
resulting from my participating in the ride. I agree that this release includes injury or damage caused in
whole or in part by negligence, active or passive, of the Club and it’s members, employees, landowners,
agents, and contracting parties.

I expressly waive any rights 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 his favor at the time of
executing the release, which if known by him might have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”

I agree that I will indemnify and hold harmless the Club, its officers, directors, members and agents against
all claims, demands, and causes of action, including court costs and actual attorney fees, arising from any
proceeding or lawsuits brought by or prosecuted for my benefit, in which this release is upheld.

The Club, its agents or employees shall not be liable for any damage or loss which may accrue from any cause
such as (but not limited to): fire, theft, running away, state of health, or injury to person, horse or property.

I further understand that this agreement extends to any minor that I have any responsibility for, whether the
minor is my child, or I am a legal guardian thereof, or even any minor that I shall sponsor during the event.

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS A COMPLETE RELEASE OF
LIABILITY AND PROMISE NOT TO SUE OR TO MAKE A CLAIM. I AM AWARE THAT IT IS A CONTRACT
BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE GOLD COUNTRY ENDURANCE RIDERS.
