Liz, here's what we use in the normal course of business. It may not
cover all of your liability concerns, but it should help set
expectations as far as the horse(s) go:

Natalie's Barn & Breakfast
When a Horse Acts Like a Horse...

All in the spirit of "No Surprises," here is the waiver form that we ask
our guests to sign. Some states already have this written into law. The
California legislature is still working on it.

Acknowledgement of Risk and Release of All Liability

1. Acknowledgement of Risk.
I hereby acknowledge that horseback riding is an inherently
dangerous activity and that horses, being prey animals, will on occasion
behave according to instinct rather than training. While a guest at
Natalie's Barn & Breakfast, or as the recipient of any service provided
thereby, I agree to wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing
while mounted or handling any horse.

2. Assumption of Risk.
I accept all risks related to the presence and handling of horses
while a guest at Natalie's Barn & Breakfast, or as the recipient of any
service provided thereby. I hereby authorize Natalie's Barn & Breakfast,
its owners or employees to seek medical attention for myself and/or
veterinary care for my horse(s) in case of an emergency. I also agree to
be financially responsible for any such care.

3. Release of Liability.
I agree to hold Natalie's Barn & Breakfast, its owners and
employees, harmless for any injury to me or to any other person
accompanying me, or any damage to property, related to the actions of
any horse, regardless of ownership or circumstance.

(signed)_____________________________ Date:__________

We ask that each guest, 18 years or older, sign a copy of this release.

Hope this helps.
