Course Application Information, Terms & Conditions, and Indemnity Form:

Rider Specifications:
• Applicants under 18 require a Parent or Guardian to authorise this form.
• Physically, riders must be able, reasonably fit and well balanced on a horse at all gaits.
• As a matter of safety Parelli reserves the right to recommend that you do not ride, and in such a case your enrolment will be transferred to spectator status. We do not recommend a “green” rider on a “green” horse.

Your Horse:
• Must already be started under saddle.
• Please do not bring horses with serious behavioural problems on a course. Talk to Russell about a more suitable time to assist in this situation.
• Stallions are not permitted.

Rider Requirements:
• A basic equipment kit is recommended comprising a Natural Halter, 12ft Line, Carrot Stick and 6ft Savvy String together with your saddle, riding boots/shoes and hard hat. For Level 2 and higher courses you will require a 22ft Line, extra Carrot Stick, Hackamore and/or Snaffle bridle and optionally a bareback pad.

a) Revoke its approval for the APPLICANT to attend or participate in the COURSE
b) Recommend that the APPLICANT transfer to ‘spectator’ status
c) Make an adjustment or refund of fees if either event a) or b) occurs
• The APPLICANT agrees to release and discharge the INSTRUCTOR in respect of all liability to the APPLICANT for loss or damage of any kind whether for personal injury, death or property damage which the APPLICANT may suffer in attending the COURSE, howsoever caused.
