Working with horses carries real physical risk. Every participant — whether enrolled by a school or a parent — must have a signed indemnity on file before their first session.
Centre: ______________________ Participant name: ______________________ Date of birth: ______________
I understand that activities involving horses — including but not limited to grooming, leading, mounting, riding, and general proximity to horses — carry an inherent risk of injury, including serious injury, paralysis, or death, due to the unpredictable nature of horses as large animals. I understand that Horse Worx, its franchisees, staff, and horses cannot guarantee my (or my child's) safety.
I confirm that participation in Horse Worx activities is voluntary, and that I (or my child) am participating with full knowledge of the risks described above.
I confirm that I have disclosed all relevant medical conditions, physical limitations, allergies, and medications relevant to the participant's safe participation, and I will inform Horse Worx staff immediately of any change in this information.
To the fullest extent permitted by South African law, I release, indemnify and hold harmless Horse Worx, the relevant franchisee, their staff, contractors, and horse owners from any and all claims, damages, injuries, or losses arising from participation in Horse Worx activities, except to the extent caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct.
In the event of injury or medical emergency, I authorise Horse Worx staff to arrange emergency medical treatment on my (or my child's) behalf, at my cost, where I cannot immediately be reached.
I / consent to photographs or video of the participant being used by Horse Worx for marketing purposes.
Where applicable: I understand this participant is enrolled via □ a school contract / □ an individual agreement directly with the franchisee — and that billing follows the model selected at enrolment.
