This Equine Activity Liability Release, Waiver of Right to Sue, and Assumption of All Risks Agreement (di~"this Agreement") is given pursuant to the Virginia Equine Activity Liability Act, Code of Virginia Section

3.1-796.130 et. seq. by the undersigned to Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt, as equine activity sponsors and or equine professionals and as agents for the benefit of the owner of land upon which any equine activity to which

this Agreement relates is conducted and to each partner, Board member, officer, agent, successor and assign of the Club and each owner.

In exchange for the opportunity to participate in foxhunting and other equine activities of Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt, I hereby agree as follows (please initial beside each of numbered item, then sign and date)

1. __I understand that foxhunting, which includes riding at all rates of speed over fences, other obstacles and steep and rough terrain, is one of the most dangerous of all equine activities and poses very real risks of serious

injury or death to me, my horse, and my property. I expressly assume those risks and wish to participate regardless of hazards.

2. __I understand that every person accompanying or conducting hunting and other equine activities is responsible for his or her own safety and that no one, other than me, is responsible for my safety or that of my

horse or property.

3. I understand that equine related activities pose certain inherent risks of personal injury or death to me and my horse and damage to my property. I understand that these risks include but are in no way limited to the

propensity of an equine to behave in dangerous ways which may result in injury to me and the inability of any person to predict an equine's reaction to sound, movements, objects, persons or animals and hazards of surface

or subsurface conditions both observable and unobservable.

4 ___I understand that pursuant to the Code of Virginia, Section 3.1 -796.133, I waive my right to sue Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt for any negligent act or omission committed by it. Therefore, I agree that neither I,

nor any of my heirs, guardians or legal representatives will bring any suit against Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt for any negligent act or omission it may commit in conducting any hunt/equine activity.

5.__If I execute this Agreement for or on behalf of a minor named below, my signature on this Agreement is my representation and warranty that I am in fact the legal parent or guardian of such minor, with full rights of

custody and control and that this Agreement is given on behalf of and is intended to be binding upon said minor, his/her heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. I further agree that this Agreement shall

be fully binding on me as if I were entering into it solely on my own behalf.

6.__I hereby authorize and consent to any emergency medical care for me or, if applicable, the minor for whom I am signing this Agreement, which may at the time appear reasonable and appropriate under the

circumstances as a result of apparent injury or sickness incurred in the course of an equine activity.

7. __I hereby release and waive all rights which I may now or hereafter have against Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt; its Masters, officers, directors, members, employees, guests or any person making property available for

Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt for death, personal injury or property damage which is in any way associated with the inherent risks of equine activities, especially foxhunting, and any negligent act or omission; I agree to

indemnify and hold Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt harmless. I specifically waive my right to bring any action against Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt. I expressly assume all risks and dangers or death and personal injury and

property damage which are in any way related to equine activities, especially foxhunting, conducted by Colonial Fox Hounds Hunt. (updated 9/20/2007)
