Knowing the inherent risks, dangers and rigors involved in the PARKS HORSEMANSHIP LLC AND/OR JOHN AND CAT PARKS activities, I certify that I and any minor children of mine are fully capable of participation in all activities. I assume full responsibility for myself and my minor children for bodily injury, death, loss of personal property and expenses thereof, as a result of my negligence or the negligence of my children. I further understand the concessionaire reserves the right to refuse any person it judges to be incapable if meeting the rigors and requirements of participation in the PARKS HORSEMANSHIP LLC AND/OR JOHN AND CAT PARKS activities.

I also agree to HOLD HARMLESS AND INDEMNIFY PARKS HORSEMANSHIP LLC and/or JOHN AND CAT PARKS for any claims brought by the minor.
