IMPORTANT – READ CAREFULLY

THIS DOCUMENT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

BY SIGNING, YOU ARE RELEASING CLAIMS AND WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

1. PARTIES

This Agreement is entered into between the undersigned Participant (or Parent/Guardian of a minor) and LCS Capital Group Inc., doing business as Cloverland ATL, including its owners, officers, directors, employees, guides, instructors, volunteers, independent contractors, landowners, affiliates, insurers, and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”).

2. ASSUMPTION OF RISK — AUTHENTIC WOODED TRAIL CONDITIONS

I understand that horseback riding and equine activities involve inherent, obvious, and unavoidable risks.

I understand that this activity takes place on an authentic, natural, wooded trail environment and not on a controlled arena or groomed surface.

I acknowledge and understand that I may encounter, without warning:

• Low-hanging or overhanging tree branches

• Brush, shrubs, vines, and natural vegetation

• Insects, including bees, wasps, mosquitoes, and wildlife

• Mud, loose dirt, sand, rocks, roots, holes, ruts, and uneven terrain

• Fallen limbs, natural debris, or obstacles

• Sudden changes in elevation, slopes, inclines, or declines

• Weather-related conditions, including slippery or unstable surfaces

• Limited visibility due to natural surroundings

I understand that the wooded trail is intentionally maintained in a natural condition and is not landscaped, padded, cleared of all natural hazards, or designed to eliminate inherent outdoor risks.

I acknowledge that natural terrain conditions may be open and obvious, and I accept responsibility for maintaining awareness of my surroundings.

I understand horses are powerful animals that may react unpredictably, including but not limited to bucking, bolting, rearing, kicking, biting, or spooking.

I understand risks may arise from the actions, inactions, or negligence of other participants.

I understand that staff may not be in immediate physical proximity during portions of the trail ride and that I am responsible for maintaining control of my horse at all times.

I voluntarily and knowingly assume ALL RISKS, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, INHERENT OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING RISKS ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF THE RELEASED PARTIES.
