I understand that riding has inherent risk and that all horses may react unpredictably on occasions and not always respond as expected. I may fall off and may 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 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. I will always wear a riding hat to PAS015 and must have a BSI kite mark or as listed on the attached document. It is the responsibility of the person riding to check that their hat meets the safety standards. I understand 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 if I choose to participate in any competition or event, it is up to me to ensure 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 not to enter. I understand that Pinkmead Farm Riding Centre will make decisions based on information I give them and agree to always be honest and volunteer information about my abilities, my previous accidents and any medical conditions which may affect my ability to ride. All clients must wear flat soled shoes or boots with a small heel. Trainers are not acceptable. Clients are asked not to wear jewellery of any description whilst around the riding centre. We advise all persons participating in any equestrian activity to ensure they have adequate personal accident insurance. No new clients are to hack around the farm without an assessment or being led. I understand that I am responsible for informing Pinkmead Farm Riding Centre if any personal information given on the registration form is altered. All instructors are trained and competent to teach at their detailed level. All children on Pinkmead Farm premises (including those here for a lesson) MUST AT ALL TIMES be under the DIRECT supervision of an adult. The only exception to this is in respect of children who are members of saddle club or attending an activity, in which case the parent or guardian must sign them in on arrival and collection. Under no circumstances must children not here for a lesson be allowed to leave the direct supervision of the accompanying adult. We reserve the right to terminate a client contract. The livery yard areas are strictly out of bounds. Please do not feed horses or ponies.
WHAT TO WEAR: RIDING HATS: We will supply hats but if you have your own we recommend you bring this to each session. This must conform to the standards on attached document. BOOTS: Boots must have a flat sole and defined heel. Trainers and sandals are not permitted. GLOVES: We recommend riding gloves but these are not essential. ARMS: No sleeveless or strappy tops.
