RELEASE, WAIVER, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
The undersigned Client/Participant/Spectator/Visitor/Guest (collectively “Client”), on his/her own behalf and as the
Parent(s)/Legal Guardian(s) of a minor Client (any reference to Client will include the interests of his/her minor Client if
the participating Client is a minor), for good and valuable consideration, agrees to the following terms and conditions of
this Release, Waiver, Hold Harmless, and Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”):
1. Assumption of Risk and Waiver: Client understands and accepts the risks of engaging in domesticated animal
activities and merely being near a domesticated animal (without limitation, canine, bovine, swine, sheep, goat, domesticated
deer, llama, poultry, rabbit, horse, pony, mule, jenny, donkey, or hinny) (collectively “domesticated animal”). A number of
inherent risks are associated with a domesticated animal activity. A domesticated animal may behave in a manner that
results in damages to property or an injury or death to a person. Risks associated with the activity may include injuries
caused by bucking, biting, stumbling, rearing, trampling, scratching, pecking, falling, or butting. The domesticated animal
may react unpredictably to conditions, including, but not limited to, a sudden movement, loud noise, an unfamiliar
environment, or the introduction of unfamiliar persons, animals, or objects. The domesticated animal may also react in a
dangerous manner when a condition or treatment is considered hazardous to the welfare of the animal; a collision occurs
with an object or animal; or a participant fails to exercise reasonable care, take adequate precautions, or use adequate
control when engaging in a domesticated animal activity, including failing to maintain reasonable control of the animal or
failing to act in a manner consistent with the person’s abilities. Client understands the resulting injuries, death, and
property damage that may result from the accepted risks of engaging in domesticated animal activity or just being near a
domesticated animal, that domesticated animals are powerful and have the potential to be dangerous, even without warning,
and that the risks listed in this Agreement are just a sampling and Client is not relying on Released Parties (as defined
below) to list all possible domesticated animal-related risks. Client therefore agrees that he/she understands the risks and
dangers inherent in domesticated animal activities and agree to assume them, to at all times to be responsible for his/her
personal safety, remain financially responsible for his/her medical expenses, and waives his/her right to any claims arising
from his/her participation in or observation of any domesticated animal activities, being near a domesticated animal, or
mere presence on the property of Running Horse Ridge and/or Beth G. Burrell and/or Steven P. Burrell and/or Katie E. Dolezal (collectively
"Facility").
2. Release, Hold Harmless, Indemnification: Client agrees to release and hold the Facility, it’s owners, managers,
officers, directors, members, partners, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, attorneys, assistants, representatives, assigns,
volunteers, employees, independent contractors, trainers, and others acting on their behalf, as well as Beth G. Burrell
and Steven P. Burrell and Katie E. Dolezal, and their respective heirs, relatives, agents, attorneys, assigns, and others acting on their behalf
(collectively “Released Parties”), harmless for any illness, injury, death, damage, or other loss incurred by Client unless
caused by Released Parties’ gross negligence or wanton and willful misconduct. Client agrees to indemnify Released
Parties against injuries and damages sustained or suffered by any third party, whether caused by Client directly or
indirectly, and which includes reimbursement of Released Parties’ attorneys’ fees.
3. Governing Law and Time Limitation: This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws
of the State of Iowa. All disputes relating to the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be resolved
exclusively by the state court in Butler County, Iowa. The parties hereto hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the
Court for such purpose. Client agrees that any and all claims and/or causes of action, for injury, death, property damage, or
other claims or losses by Client, on his/her own behalf and/or on behalf of a minor Client, against the Released Parties,
must be brought within one (1) year of the date they accrue.
4. Attorneys' Fees: Client agrees to reimburse Released Parties for any and all attorneys' fees and costs incurred by
Released Parties in enforcing the terms of this Agreement and/or in defending or prosecuting any claims or causes of action
involving, or in any way relating to, Client.
5. Client Certification: Client certifies that he/she has read this entire Agreement and understands, agrees, and intends
on his/her own behalf, and on behalf of his/her minor Client, spouse, heirs, agents, representatives, relatives, successors,
and assigns, to be bound by all of the terms and conditions contained herein. Client further agrees that Running Horse Ridge,
