I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge, all of the above details are correct.
I have read the Horse Riders’ Code of Conduct below. I understand that riding at any standard has the inherent risk that I may fall off and I could be injured. I accept that risk and agree that the Riding Instructor will not be liable for injury or damage to property unless their negligence causes it.
Where I am signing on behalf of a minor or supported person, I have explained the Riders’ Code of Conduct to my child/supported person, and we both accept the risk and agree that the Riding Instructor will not be liable for injury or damage to property unless their negligence causes it.

The Horse Riders Code of Conduct
I understand that riding at any standard has inherent risk and that all horses may occasionally react unpredictably. As such, they may react to a situation or to the local environment so that the rider/ carriage driver may be unseated by accident. In the absence of any negligence on the part of Buchan Community Farm, I fully understand and accept that no liability will attach to either party.
I may fall off and could be injured. I accept that risk.
I understand that instructions are given for my safety and agree to follow instructions given to me.
I understand that wearing an appropriate riding hat and body protector may reduce the severity of an injury should an accident happen, and I agree that I will always wear a riding hat while riding.
I understand it is my choice whether I wear a body protector.
I understand that my riding Instructor will make decisions based on information I give them and always agree to be honest and volunteer information about:
my abilities and riding experience
any previous riding accidents
any medical condition(s) which may affect my ability to ride.
