It should be accepted that horse riding is a dangerous activity. The rider recognises that horses are living animals. Each horse has a different nature and temperament and responds differently to each rider's style and experience level, especially when considering trotting and cantering. The rider recognises that there is an element of risk in riding horses and that the horses may act in an unpredictable manner, particularly if frightened, hurt, in any way mistreated or not controlled correctly by the rider. Riders who choose to trot or canter accept that asking a horse for energy requires experience as all horses respond differently to various commands, this is a known fact by experienced riders and therefore, it is accepted that all casual and regular riders trot and canter unconditionally at their own risk and should apply their own skill and experience to determine the way their horse responds to their requests prior to trotting and cantering. For more information ask your HWH Stables guide for advice regarding each individual horse.
The rider acknowledges that a horse may quicken its pace, trot or canter on the return journey to its stable, yard or truck, all riders must remain aware of this fact and if necessary seek assistance from the HWH Stables guide if they feel they need help to settle their horse during this return trip.
