When to use this form

For any riding stable, trail outfitter, lesson program, or ranch that puts people on horses, use this waiver before each ride, lesson, or clinic. It protects your business by documenting that riders accept the risks of equine activities, follow your barn rules, and provide emergency contacts and medical info. Use it for guided trail rides, arena lessons, pony rides at fairs, volunteer programs, and birthday parties. If you run weeklong youth camps with riding, pair it with the Camp liability waiver form. Hosting a charity trail ride or a show? Add the Event waiver form for non-riding guests and vendors. Having returning riders? Let them renew each season, and keep signed records for every participant, including minors with a parent or guardian.

Must Ask Horseback Riding Waiver Questions

  1. Do you understand and accept the inherent risks of equine activities and agree to release and indemnify the operator to the extent permitted by law?

    This sets clear legal expectations and shows informed consent. It reduces disputes and helps courts see that riders accepted known risks.

  2. What is your riding experience level and the most recent date you rode?

    This helps you assign a suitable horse, tack, and route. Matching skill to mount lowers the chance of falls or refusals.

  3. Will you wear a helmet and follow all posted barn and trail rules?

    This confirms safety commitments that reduce preventable injuries and claims. If you also run pre-ride conditioning sessions, use the Personal training liability waiver form to cover those activities.

  4. Do you have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications we should know about, and who is your emergency contact?

    With this information, staff can respond fast and share critical details with EMTs. It also avoids delays if a rider needs urgent care.

  5. If the participant is a minor, do you, as parent or legal guardian, consent to participation and authorize emergency medical care?

    For minors, this secures lawful consent and permission to treat. It lets staff act without hesitation when time matters.
