Horsebackriding is a dangerous sport and we insist you have special insurance over and above travel insurance. We also insist on valid travel insurance and you need to state the details of both these types of coverage on your reservation forms.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS Brcause of the riding involved, you must be confident that your medical and physical condition is suited to the course you have chosen. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are fit and well enough to take part in the activities booked. In making a booking, you declare and warrant that you have disclosed to us every matter concerning your health and mental and physical fitness of which you are aware, or ought reasonably to be expected to know, that is relevant to our decision to permit you to ride horses. Upon any adverse change in your health and fitness that may be likely to affect our decision to accept the risk of permitting you to ride, you must notify us immediately in writing of any such adverse change. You acknowledge that the obligation to disclose continues from the time of booking the course through to departure and extends for the duration of the course.
If you fail to comply with the duty of disclosure and if we would not have permitted you to ride, had you made full disclosure under this condition, we will not be liable for any loss, damage, injury or death sustained by you of whatever kind, nature or description that may arise or is sustained as a result of riding, unless such loss, damage, injury or death arises out of the breach of legal duty of The Writing Horse. If you do suffer a change in health you can always amend your reservation to Non-Rider Participant without extra cost.
INAPPROPRIATE CONDUCT Any person considered to be behaving in an antisocial manner and/or under the undue influence of alcohol or drugs may be refused further participation. You need to be in full control of your horse at all time. If in our reasonable opinion your behaviour is causing danger, damage or affecting the enjoyment of others, we reserve the right to terminate your holiday without refund.
CLIMATE & CONDITIONS It is never possible to predict the weather perfectly and we cannot be held responsible for the weather conditions at the time of your holiday. If we cannot ride out, we will do our best to provide you with other activities such as excursions.
HEALTH & SAFETY We take the safety of our customers very seriously.Note that areas around your holiday accommodation do not form part of your booking, for example the sea, beaches, roads, mountains and that you are also responsible for taking reasonable care for your own safety in these areas. Where we recommend or use establishments as part of our excursions, please note their use of such establishments is operated in good faith and based upon their own views and experiences and therefore contain elements of subjective opinion. Crimes against people and property are a fact of life throughout the world and you have the same responsibility for your personal safety as you do at home.
DELAYS In the event that a delay results in lost holiday time, we cannot make any refund of unused accommodation or meal arrangement, as they cannot be re-sold, and full cancellation charges will be applied. No adjustment can be made to the holiday arrangements to take account of a delay. Please pay particular attention to the above when booking your own independent flights, train or taxi connections, and allow sufficient time. We cannot be held responsible for any costs incurred through schedule changes although we will endeavour to accommodate you as much as we can.
