”Insurance and Equine Release Requirement Update
Due to the exorbitant increase of the cost for insurance, GWPFHA is unable to continue to provide insurance at our activities. As a result, the GWPFHA BOD has enacted an Equine Release requirement for participants in GWPFHA activities. The release form’s purpose is to protect the activity’s host(s) and GWPFHA against claims resulting from accidents occurring during a GWPFHA sponsored activity. Starting immediately, each participant in a GWPFHA activity must sign a release prior to the start of said activity. Hosts not requiring attendees to sign the GWPFHA Release assume all risks and legal responsibilities. Attached is the GWPFHA release form for your use.GWPFHA Release Form, April 2019
RAFFLE PRIZE PAINTINGThis past summer we had a fund raising event which was a raffle. There were two winners; each won a painting of their desired subject. Artwork was created by a GWPFHA member.This picture is of Don Rayo de Fianza. He is a beloved Paso Fino belonging to Linda Bean. Painting was executed by Anna Siciliano.
Raffle Prize Painting
Linda liked her painting so much, she bought a second painting from Anna. It depicts Linda on Don Reyo on a ride in Logan Canyon.
