Dabney responds:

All that means is that when RMs charge for riders to ride on their own land, 
they are not protected by this particular statute.  However, other 
landowners are (unless they're charging).  RMs are protected by the 
liability release we riders all sign (or should be!) when we enter the ride.

And  these liability releases DO "hold up in court."  They have been tested. 
They work.  Do just be sure to use them, and I believe insurance is also 
available through AERC?  (Belt and suspenders--a good idea.)
