6 Event:Merit Badge University Horsemanship Location: Eastern Kentucky University Event Date: Saturday April 22 nd and 23 rd Horsemanship Participation Waiver Due to the fact that horseback is a dangerous sport, I must ask that all riders/guardians sign a wavier after reading this warning. This is to notify you that there are risks that are uncontrollable. We try to provide a safe and structured riding program, but when working with animals, one is not capable of controlling everything that transpires. Everyone that participates in a riding lesson must wear a helmet, either one provided by the facilitator or one of their own. This notice states that will be participating in the riding program at Eastern Kentucky University sponsored by the Alpha Zeta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega for their Merit Badge University Event. Thank you for your cooperation. WARNING Under Kentucky law, a farm animal activity sponsor, farm animal professional, or other person does not have the duty to eliminate all risks of injury of participation in farm animal activities. There are inherent risks of injury that you voluntarily accept if you participate in farm animal activities. Equine Activity Statute State of Kentucky KENTUCKY STATUTES TITLE XXI.
