I understand rides are supervised by Ace-Hi Staff, I will listen & heed all directions prior to & during the ride. I further acknowledge that I MUST wear an approved riding helmet at all times.
- I understand a horse is a large, heavy, herdal animal, a creature of flight and can react without warning, has highly developed senses of hearing, sight and smell, which can make its behavior towards sounds, sudden movement, and unfamiliar objects, people or other animals, Unpredictable and potentially harmful to the Rider.
- A horse can bite, buck, bolt, fall, kick, pig-root, rear, roll, shy, stumble, or stand on you whilst in their surrounds (‘Risks’). The Risks are greatly increased when more than one horse is handled or ridden at the same time, and when riders and handlers have different levels of skill and experience. Because of the Risks, I will be exposed, by riding and/or handling a horse, to the possibility of death, serious personal injury or disability (including paralysis and brain injury), even if you act safely and wear an approved riding helmet and healed boots.
- The Rider freely, without any inducement or coercion whatsoever, undertakes the Risks by riding and/or handling a horse in connection with activities conducted by Bass Strait Views Pty Ltd ACN 068 766 156 trading as Ace Hi (‘Provider’). In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Provider’s horse related activities, the Rider agrees for him/herself, personal representatives and next of kin, with the Provider, as follows:
- The Provider, its employees, agents and independent contractors will not be liable for the Rider’s death or personal injury, as that expression is defined in s.97A Goods Act 1958 (Vic) (‘Act’), because of: (a) a breach of condition implied by section 91 or 92 of the Act; (b) a breach of a warranty implied by section 74 Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth); or (c) negligence or default of the Provider under the general law, whatever the cause.
- Not to make any claim or bring any action against the Provider, its employees, agents or independent contractors on account of any liability excluded by clause 4.
All the information I have provided is true & correct. I understand & except the responsibilities and dangers of horse riding also the regulations & conditions of entry as posted in the chapel and reinforced on the stable as reasonable conditions of entry and am happy to abide by them.
