Pinnacle Equestrian Tour — General Release & Waiver of Liability

I understand that horseback riding, equestrian competition, and related activities are inherently dangerous and involve risk of serious injury or death to riders, horses, and spectators. I voluntarily choose to participate (or allow my child/horse) in events hosted by the Pinnacle Equestrian Tour and accept full responsibility for all risks, whether known or unknown, including but not limited to falls, collisions, horse behavior, weather, footing conditions, or the actions of other participants.

In consideration for being permitted to participate in any Pinnacle Equestrian Tour event, I, on behalf of myself, my heirs, representatives, successors, and assigns, hereby release and hold harmless Pinnacle Equestrian Tour, LLC, its owners, affiliates, sponsors, officials, employees, volunteers, event organizers, landowners, and facility operators (collectively “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, or liability of any kind arising out of or connected with participation in any PET event, even if caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the Released Parties.

I agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, attorney’s fees, or liabilities arising out of my participation (or my child’s participation) in any PET event or from my presence at the show grounds, including injury or damage to other persons, animals, or property.

In the event of an accident or medical emergency, I authorize PET officials, staff, or medical personnel on site to secure emergency medical treatment as deemed necessary for myself, my child, or my horse. I assume full financial responsibility for any such treatment.

I acknowledge that I have been informed of and understand applicable state Equine Activity Liability laws, which limit the liability of equine professionals and event organizers. I understand that I am participating in equine activities at my own risk.

I grant Pinnacle Equestrian Tour, LLC and its affiliates permission to use photographs, video, or other media of me, my child, or my horse taken during events for promotional, educational, or marketing purposes in print, digital, and online formats, without compensation.

I agree to abide by all Pinnacle Equestrian Tour rules, event regulations, and facility policies. I understand that violation of any rule or unsafe conduct may result in disqualification or removal from the grounds without refund.

By registering for, entering, participating in, or being present at any Pinnacle Equestrian Tour event, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and voluntarily agree to all terms and conditions set forth in this Waiver and Release of Liability. This agreement applies to all circuits — including the Training Circuit (Pinnacle Cup), Unrated Circuit, Rated Circuit, and Young Horse Circuit (Next Gen Cup) — and to all persons involved, including riders, owners, trainers, coaches, parents, and spectators.

This Release shall be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona and is binding upon me, my heirs, legal representatives, and assigns. If any portion is found invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
