Waivers built for the trail, the arena, and the lesson barn.

Horses are large, unpredictable animals, and most states have equine-activity liability statutes that only protect you if your waiver carries the required statutory language. Online Waiver Software gives stables and trail operators a waiver that assesses rider experience and includes the EALA-style warning your state's law requires.

Who this is for

Trail-ride operators, riding-lesson barns, equestrian centres, dude ranches, pony-party providers, and therapeutic-riding programs. Anyone who puts a member of the public on or near a horse and relies on their state's equine-activity statute for protection.

The specific risk you're documenting

Falls, kicks, bites, being thrown, and the simple fact that a horse can spook at anything. Most states' Equine Activity Liability Acts (EALA) require specific warning language — often verbatim — on signed documents for the statute's protection to apply. A defensible equestrian waiver pairs that statutory language with a rider-experience self-assessment so guides can match horses to ability.

Which blocks and features matter

The rider-experience self-assessment (never ridden / beginner / intermediate / advanced) is on the record before a wrangler assigns a horse. The rules block carries your state's EALA warning language and a helmet acknowledgment. Per-visit re-attestation captures consent each ride. Guardian consent from age 12 covers the children who fill summer trail rides and pony parties.

Match horse to rider, on the record

Riders pre-sign from the booking confirmation on their phone, and your guide sees each rider's stated experience level before assigning mounts. Every signing — with the statutory warning intact — is stored in a hashed, searchable record, exactly what your equine-liability insurer wants to see.
