I have no idea. This waiver held up through trial and appeal, until it hit
the state Supreme Court.
Maybe I'm making to much of this, but my dream is to own a boarding stable
and since this case is about a sport considered somewhat dangerous, and
horses are somewhat dangerous...
Hypothetically: If I owned a stable and say had a little permanent-built
cross country course in a pasture, and a young rider got dumped, hit her
head on a tree. Even though her parents had signed a waiver, adn her
trainer/coach was with her... This case seem very important in how
liability damages will be assigned...

I had a friend who used a contract much like this for giving riding
lessons. One little extra she had added was that should the person decide
to sue for any reason, they would agree to pay for her any defense fees
she might incur. Do you think *that* would hold up in court?
