RIDER REGISTRATION FORM AND CODE OF CONDUCT

I understand that riding at any standard has inherent risk and that all horses may react

unpredictably on occasions.

• 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 by

staff and instructors at the riding school.

• I reserve the right not to ride a horse allocated to me and may request a change of instructor.

• I understand that wearing an appropriate riding hat and body protector may reduce the severity oF

an injury should an accident happen and agree that I will always wear a riding hat whist riding,

leading and grooming horses at the riding school. I understand it is my choice whether or not I wear

a body protector.

• I understand that the riding school will make decisions based on information I give them and agree

to always 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

• I understand that children are at particular risk around horses and agree that I will keep any children

that I am responsible for, under close supervision when they are not being instructed by the riding

school.

• I understand that the riding school may refuse my request to ride for safety and operational

reasons.

• I understand that competing carries enhanced risk over and above general riding and agree that if

I chose to participate in any competition or event, it is up to me to ensure that I have the

experience and ability to ride the course including any jumps which form part of it. If I am in any

doubt, I will use my judgement and experience and not enter.

All riders must have their own Rider Insurance along with the correctly fitted safety equipment, Hat/Helmet to comply with the most recent UK Riding Hat Standards, Riding Boots. Body Protector is required for certain activities.
