COMPLETE RELEASE OF LIABILITY FOR INJURY OR ILLNESS OR PROPERTY DAMAGE                                                                                                                                                                            

 

The undersigned ("I") states as follows:

            I acknowledge that competitive and pleasure horse riding, driving and handling contains inherent risks of injury and damage to me personally, to bystanders, to the horses involved, to my equipment and to other property.  I further acknowledge that this facility has dogs, cats, wildlife, often has active machinery and tools, borders neighbors with livestock and open space and is in an agricultural zone. I also acknowledge that helmets are required for juniors and jumping and strongly recommended for all riders and drivers.

          Knowing these facts, I nevertheless, in consideration of your acceptance of this form and access to your premises, hereby for myself, my agents, representatives, heirs, successors, assignees, executors, and administrators waive, release and discharge and hold harmless William J. Erkelens and Marie L. Roehm individually and dba American Canyon Training Center and their representatives, employees, heirs, successors, executors, administrators, agents and assigns from any and all right, claim, or liability for damages or for any and all injuries or loss that might be sustained by me, my guests, my agents, my invitees, my horse, or my other property and from any and all claims of any kind or nature that I, my guests, my agents or my invitees might have as result of, or arising out of any activity relating to transporting, boarding, riding or handling my horse or any other horse present, stabled or being used at 2130 American Canyon Road, including but not limited to any damages, injuries or loss caused in whole or in part by any negligence of American Canyon Training Center, William J. Erkelens, Marie L. Roehm or their employees and representatives. 

          Further, I do hereby acknowledge that this release and hold harmless will extend to any accidents, injuries, loss, damages or claims of others arising out of my presence and/or participation, caused by my horse or my own act or the acts of anyone or any animal or anything within my control or for which I am responsible, including but not limited to any damages, injuries or loss caused in whole or in part by any negligence of American Canyon Training Center, William J. Erkelens, Marie L. Roehm or their employees and representatives.  I further agree that I will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the American Canyon Training Center, William J. Erkelens, Marie L. Roehm and their representatives, employees, heirs, successors, executors, administrators, agents and assigns against any and all claims, demands and causes of action including court costs or other costs of dispute resolution and attorneys fees, directly or indirectly arising in whole or in part from any action or other proceeding brought by or prosecuted for my benefit or that of my guests, agents, heirs, successors, assign or representatives contrary to this Release. 

          I understand that this Release extends to all claims of every kind and nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, and I expressly waive any benefits I may have under California Civil Code section 1542 relating to the release of any unknown claims. By signing this Agreement, I waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, and that if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with debtor or released party.

             I acknowledge that I have read the foregoing and know and understand the content thereof.
