TWELVE 2 PERFORMANCE COACHING LLC: EQUINE COACHING AGREEMENT, ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE
This Agreement applies to RUN WITH CONFIDENCE and MINDSET RESET coaching services provided by TWELVE 2 PEREFORMANCE COACHING LLC and Suni Olkjer, collectively referred to as “Twelve 2 Performance Coaching.”
NATURE AND LIMITATIONS OF REMOTE COACHING
I understand that Twelve 2 Performance Coaching provides educational coaching based primarily on videos, information, and descriptions that I submit. Suni is not physically present to inspect my horse, equipment, riding area, ground conditions, physical condition, riding ability, or other circumstances that may affect safety.
Any observations, suggestions, exercises, techniques, or recommendations provided are educational in nature. They are not a guarantee of safety, performance, or results and are not a substitute for instruction from a qualified professional who is physically present when needed.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF INHERENT RISKS
I understand that horses are unpredictable animals and that riding, handling, training, exercising, or otherwise working with a horse can result in property damage, bodily injury, permanent disability, or death. Risks may arise from, among other things:
• A horse’s behavior, including bucking, kicking, biting, bolting, rearing, stumbling, falling, or reacting unexpectedly;
• The actions of other animals, riders, people, vehicles, or equipment;
• Uneven, slippery, hard, obstructed, or otherwise hazardous riding conditions;
• Improperly fitted, damaged, or defective tack or equipment;
• My own actions, inexperience, physical limitations, or failure to follow appropriate safety practices; and
• Attempting an exercise or recommendation that is unsuitable for me, my horse, my equipment, or my surroundings.
VOLUNTARY ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I voluntarily assume all inherent and reasonably foreseeable risks associated with riding, handling, training, or working with horses and with choosing to apply information or recommendations provided through Twelve 2 Performance Coaching.
I understand that I am never required to attempt a recommendation. I agree to stop and seek appropriate in-person assistance whenever I feel unsafe, uncertain, physically unable, or believe that a recommendation may be unsuitable for my horse or circumstances.
RELEASE OF LIABILITY
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, I RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO HOLD TWELVE 2 PERFORMANCE COACHING LLC, SUNI OLKJER, AND THEIR OWNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AND REPRESENTATIVES LIABLE FOR CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, OR INJURIES ARISING FROM THE INHERENT RISKS OF HORSE-RELATED ACTIVITIES OR FROM MY DECISION TO APPLY THE COACHING INFORMATION PROVIDED, INCLUDING CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF A RELEASED PARTY.
This release does not apply to conduct or claims that cannot legally be waived under applicable law.
PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES
I am responsible for:
• Honestly describing my experience, physical limitations, horse, equipment, and circumstances;
• Using properly fitted and maintained tack and appropriate safety equipment, including a riding helmet when appropriate;
• Determining whether I and my horse are physically and behaviorally capable of performing an activity;
• Selecting a reasonably safe riding or training environment;
• Obtaining veterinary, medical, or qualified in-person professional assistance when appropriate; and
• Following the laws, safety requirements, and accepted equine practices applicable where I live and ride.
Twelve 2 Performance Coaching does not diagnose or treat medical or veterinary conditions. Questions involving pain, injury, lameness, illness, medication, or physical fitness should be directed to an appropriate licensed medical or veterinary professional.
COLORADO STATUTORY WARNING
WARNING
Under Colorado Law, an equine professional is not liable for an injury to or the death of a participant in equine activities resulting from the inherent risks of equine activities, pursuant to section 13-21-119, Colorado Revised Statutes.
NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS
I understand that horse and rider performance depends on numerous factors outside the control of Twelve 2 Performance Coaching. No particular result, improvement, competition outcome, or level of safety is promised or guaranteed.
