PONY RIDE LIABILITY WAIVER & RELEASE

ASSUMPTION OF RISK & RELEASE OF LIABILITY

I understand that pony rides and activities involving horses carry inherent risks, including falls, kicks, bites, sudden animal movements, and serious injury or death. I voluntarily accept these risks for myself and/or my minor child.

In consideration of participation, I agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Alabama law, to release and hold harmless High 5 Birmingham, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, and their respective employees, officers, agents, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners from claims arising from participation in pony rides or related equine activities, including claims involving ordinary negligence, except where prohibited by law.

I agree to follow all safety instructions provided by staff and volunteers. I understand that participation may be stopped at any time for safety reasons.

EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION

In the event of an emergency, I authorize staff to seek appropriate medical assistance for the participant if I cannot be reached. I understand that I am responsible for any medical expenses incurred.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT & ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read and understand this waiver, voluntarily accept the risks, and agree to its terms. I understand that my electronic signature has the same intended effect as a handwritten signature.
