WAIVER, AGREEMENT AND LIABILITY RELEASE

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING

I agree to this Waiver, Agreement and Liability Release (hereafter, “Agreement”) with HIGH VIBE TRAIL RIDES, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company (hereafter, “Stable”), as a condition for its allowing me and the persons identified below to do any or all of the following at any time and at any location: enter and be on any part of the Stable’s property, facilities, barns, aisles, indoor or outdoor arenas, pastures, trails, and surrounding land (hereafter, “Stable Property”); be near horses or ponies (hereafter referred to as “equines”); work with or handle equines (whether or not mounted); ride equines at any location on or off of the Stable Property; receive instruction or guidance at any location on or off of the Stable Property related to riding, handling, and/or working with equines; and/or attend or participate in events or gatherings (organized or non-organized) while near equines on or off of the Stable Property. All of these activities, individually and collectively, will hereafter be referred to in this Agreement as “The Activities.”

To the fullest extent allowed by law, I also make this agreement on behalf of the following persons who is/are my child/ren or legal ward(s):

All parts of this Agreement apply to me, and the children/legal wards listed above.
[We will collectively call ourselves “I,” “me,” or “my” throughout this Agreement.]

1. Consideration / Binding Effect Today and in the Future. I have requested to engage in any or all of The Activities on or off of the Stable Property and am signing this Agreement in consideration for being allowed to engage in any or all of The Activities now and/or in the future. I understand that although I am signing this Agreement today, it is intended to be valid and binding at all times, now and in the future, when Stable permits me (directly or indirectly) to engage in any or all of The Activities at any time and at any location.

2. Risks. I understand that anyone who is riding, handling, working with, or even near an equine can suffer bodily and other injuries. Among other things, equines are unpredictable by nature. For example, when frightened, angry, or under stress, the natural instincts of an equine are to jump forward or sideways, back up quickly, or run away from real or perceived danger by trotting or galloping. Equines also have the ability to kick, buck, rear up, spin around, bolt, strike, or bite. I know that equines can do these and other things without warning. I also understand that all equines, even if they have no history of inflicting injury, are powerful and have the potential to be dangerous to people, equines, and other animals that are around them.

Further, I understand that riding, handling, working with, or even being near an equine at any location can expose me to numerous hazards, which could include, for example: the propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons on or around them; the unpredictability of an equine’s reaction to sounds, sudden movements, and unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals; certain hazards such as surface or subsurface conditions or uneven terrain on or near the Stable Property and/or land where any of The Activities may take place; weather conditions; and/or collisions with other equines, animals, or objects. I understand these risks and dangers that are inherent in any or all of The Activities, and I agree to assume them. I also understand that these Page 2 of 3

are just some of the risks, and I agree to assume other risks that are not mentioned in this Agreement. I am NOT relying on Stable to list all possible risks involving The Activities in this Agreement or at any time in the future.

3. WAIVER AND LIABILITY RELEASE: As consideration for being allowed to engage in any or all of The Activities, now and in the future and at any location, and to the fullest extent allowed under Michigan law, I (on behalf of myself and my spouse, parents, heirs, representatives, assigns, minor child/ren or legal wards, if any) agree to each of the following:

(a) High Vibe Trail Rides, LLC, Lucille Ptasznik, Rich George, and their respective members, managers, employees, agents, contractors, assigns, heirs, family members, volunteers, affiliated persons, representatives, and others acting on their behalf (hereafter collectively referred to as “The Released Parties”) shall not be liable for any damages that I (and/or my minor child/ren or legal wards, if any) may sustain now or in the future as a result of engaging in any of The Activities at any time and at any location; and

(b) I/we fully and forever release, waive, and discharge all claims, demands, damages, legal actions, causes of action, or rights of action (present or future) against The Released Parties whether the claims are known, unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, and whether caused by their ordinary negligence, violation of the Michigan Equine Activity Liability Act, or other legal liability, resulting from or arising out of my/our engaging in any of The Activities at any time and at any location. The term “damages” in this Agreement means, for example, medical expenses, any and all claims or losses because of bodily injuries, mental/emotional injuries, property damages, death, and/or personal property damages. This Agreement is intended to apply and be binding whether or not I/we am/are riding, handling, working with, or even near equines. (To the fullest extent that Michigan law may allow, I also agree to waive/release all claims against The Released Parties for loss, injury, or damage caused by willful or wanton misconduct on part of any or all of The Released Parties.)

IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS A WAIVER OF LIABILITY BEYOND THE PROVISIONS OF THE MICHIGAN EQUINE ACTIVITY LIABILITY ACT, MCL 691.1661, et seq. BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, I AGREE NOT TO BRING ANY CLAIM OR SUIT AGAINST ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES UNDER ANY EXCEPTION IN THAT LAW. IN PARTICULAR, I AGREE NOT TO BRING A CLAIM OR SUIT FOR: (1) FAULTY TACK OR EQUIPMENT; (2) FAILURE TO MAKE REASONABLE AND PRUDENT EFFORTS TO DETERMINE AN EQUINE ACTIVITY PARTICIPANT'S ABILITY TO SAFELY MANAGE AN EQUINE; (3) A DANGEROUS LATENT CONDITION OF ANY PART OF THE LAND/ STABLE PROPERTY; AND/OR (4) ANY ACT OR OMISSION THAT MAY CONSTITUTE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE BY ANY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES. (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY MICHIGAN LAW, I ALSO RELEASE THE RELEASED PARTIES FROM ANY LOSSES, INJURIES OR DAMAGES CAUSED BY WILLFUL OR WANTON DISREGARD FOR MY SAFETY.)

4. INDEMNIFICATION. To the fullest extent allowed by law, I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Released Parties against all claims, demands, or lawsuits that are brought against any of The Released Parties by any third person(s) [“third persons” are people who are not parties to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, other persons on or near the Stable Property or property where The Activities take place, my relatives, guests, etc.]. I also agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Released Parties against all claims, demands, or lawsuits that are brought against any of The Released Parties by my minor child/children that are in any way connected with my/our participation in The Activities, including claims that allege acts or omissions by The Released Parties that are negligent and/or violate any part of the Michigan Equine Activity Liability Act. This indemnification shall also include reimbursement of The Released Parties’ reasonable attorney fees.

5. ASTM/SEI Headgear. I agree to be responsible for my own safety. Stable has advised me that, for my own protection, I should wear properly fitted and secured ASTM-standard/SEI-certified protective equestrian headgear that is designed for use when riding or near equines. I understand that Stable will provide an ASTM-standard/SEI-certified helmet for me. Whether or not I decide to wear an equestrian helmet is my decision alone.

6. SADDLE GIRTH LOOSENING WARNING I / WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT: Saddle girths (fastener straps around the horse’s belly) may loosen during riding. Even when girths/cinches are properly adjusted this can sometimes happen. Riders must alert the nearest attendant of any girth looseness so action can be taken to avoid saddle slippage and the potential for the rider to fall from the horse.

7. Medical Authorization. By signing this Agreement, I grant full authorization for Stable and its representatives, contractors, or employees to administer general first aid for any minor injuries or illnesses experienced by me (including minors, if designated). If any injury or illness requires emergency treatment to myself or my child, I authorize the Stable to summon professional emergency personnel to attend, transport, and treat me. I also consent to any X-ray, anesthetic, medication, diagnosis, treatment, or care deemed advisable by a licensed physician, dentist, or other medical professional or institution. I agree to assume financial responsibility for all costs. This authorization is given in advance of any such medical attention but is given to provide my authority. I agree to release The Released Parties and hold them harmless from liability connected with obtaining medical attention for myself or others on my behalf. This authorization is effective continuously.

8. Health and Physical Conditions. Some people have conditions that pose special physical risks to them while they engage in exercise. The Activities can involve exercise. Stable recommends that I seek the advice of a physician before participating in The Activities. Also, I want Stable to know of the following physical, learning, or personal needs I have that may affect my ability to engage in The Activities:

9. Michigan law governs this Agreement, and it is intended to be as broad and inclusive as Michigan law permits. Should any part of this Agreement conflict with Michigan law, only that part will be void but the remainder of this Agreement shall stay in full force and effect at all times, now and in the future. This Agreement can only be modified in writing and signed by Lucille Ptasznik or Rich George (on behalf of Stable) and me. Should I breach this Agreement or any part of it, I agree to pay attorney fees and court costs related to such breach that are incurred by any of The Released Parties. I also agree to pay attorney fees and costs that any of the Released Parties may incur to enforce this Agreement, and I will indemnify and hold harmless The Released Parties for all such fees and costs. It is also agreed that any disputes that may arise under this Agreement, or any activities that are undertaken pursuant to this Agreement, shall be litigated in a State or Federal Court of proper jurisdiction located in or nearest to Oakland County, Michigan.
