6. Reasonable care is also expected from the host facility. The Host Facility will provide full disclosure regarding any horses that are known to bite or kick.
7. I acknowledge the inherent dangers associated with working with and around horses, including but not limited to being kicked, bitten, pushed, slipping and falling in the stall or the aisle ways, and any other injuries that may occur, along with the extra care that is required while on any equine property due to the use of heavy equipment, slickness of ground both indoors and outdoors, possible escape of horses, and other dangers.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in the Course, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, representatives, and estate, do hereby do hereby fully and forever remise, release and forever discharge and shall hold harmless Sidonia McIntyre (the “Instructor”) and the host facility, their respective predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, agents, estates, and employees from any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, suits, debts, sums of money, dues, expenses, general damages, special damages, costs, claims and demands of any and every kind in nature whatsoever at law or in equity, or under any statute which I, my successors, heirs, assigns, agents, or estate hereinafter ever had, now have, or shall or may have against them, their respective predecessors, successors, heirs, assigns, agents, estates, and employees for or by reason of any matter, cause or thing related to or arising out of the Course.
9. I accept all responsibility for my own safety and that of my property and will not hold liable in any way the above mentioned parties should any harm come to myself or my property whether through my own negligence, or that of the facility or the Instructor. 
10. I acknowledge that reasonable measures will be taken by the Instructor and the facility to inform me of any particular dangers; however, I am responsible to follow proper safety protocol at all times, along with any regulations set out by the facility in their day to day carrying out of operations.
11. I hereby irrevocably attorn to the original and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of Ontario, and hereby agree that any legal action arising in any manner whatsoever from my participation in the Course shall be commenced with the said courts in the city of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
