PLEASE READ THIS FORM THOROUGHLY & SIGN TO SAY YOU UNDERSTAND THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH HORSE RIDING & CARE BEFORE RETURNING YOUR FORM. WE REGRET WE CANNOT PROCESS UNSIGNED FORMS & CANNOT ACCEPT BOOKINGS IF NOT ACCOMPANIED BY THIS BOOKING FORM AND APPROPRIATE BOOKING FEE. PLEASE PRINT OFF THIS FORM AND RETURN

Booking Fees: 12 month BHSPI £100;  4-9 month course £250; Others (inc. holiday courses) £50

Riding is recognised as a high risk sport so it is thoroughly recommended that you take out your own personal accident insurance. Although we have taken every precaution we can to minimise the associated risks horses are still unpredictable animals so please take care and accept that accidents do happen!

If you are on a holiday course your horse will be tacked up and brought to the front of the office for you. For Health & Safety reasons please either wait for your horse to be presented or complete an induction (the office will arrange) before collecting, tacking up or untacking your horse. Students and those on probationary week will be inducted before commencing their course and working on the yard or riding.

Clients are always very welcome to help in any way on the yard but please ensure you have been inducted by a member of our staff before doing so and we recommend you have adequate personal accident insurance. Your choice to ride or help on the yard is voluntary so please accept that you do so at your own risk and do not hold The Talland School of Equitation or its employees responsible for accidental damage or injury (excluding accidents caused by negligence).

Again for Health & Safety reasons we recommend that clients do not wear jewellery whilst riding or handling horses and that long hair should be tied back. Please wear a correctly fitted hat, and securely fastened chinstrap, to current standards (we can hire you one if yours is out of date). We recommend you wear gloves and either breeches, jodhpurs or jogging trousers, as jeans can cause uncomfortable rubs. Footwear should be jodhpur boots, long boots or if you don’t have these yet a pair of boots or shoes with a flat sole (not wellingtons as the sole’s too ridged) and a small block heel (not trainers as they are too flat) will be fine. We have a small collection of boots we can lend if you have nothing suitable (please ask your instructor or at the office). We also suggest that body protectors are worn.

We regret that we cannot refund any monies for whatever reason so please ensure you are insured against loss of fees due to cancellation or early termination of your course. Booking fees for holiday courses will be deducted from the total amount payable and student booking fees will be refunded on completion of course. Please note however booking fees from those in Talland accommodation will be treated as accommodation deposits and will be retained should breakages occur or should the accommodation be deemed by Talland staff to be in an unfit state.

Thank you for your co-operation

I have read and understood the above statement and accept the risks associated with riding horses and helping/working on the yard I agree to be responsible to the yard manager and all at The Talland School of Equitation and will abide at all times by his/her rules.
