THE HORSE RIDERS’ CODE OF CONDUCT I understand that riding at any standard has an inherent risk and that all horses may react unpredictably on occasions I may fall and could be injured. I accept that risk. I understand that instructions are given for my safety and agree to follow instructions given by staff and instructors of 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 whilst 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 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 or 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 judgment and experience and not enter. TO BE COMPLETED BY INSTRUCTOR / SUPERVISOR
