    Notice: Under FL Statute 773.01(6) “Inherent risks of equine activities” means those dangers or conditions which are an integral part of equine activities, including, but not limited to: (a) the propensity of equines to behave in ways that may result in injury, harm, or death to persons on or around them; (b) the unpredictability of an equine’s reaction to such things as sounds, sudden movement, and unfamiliar objects, persons, or other animals; (c) certain hazards such as surface and subsurface conditions; (d) collisions with other equines or objects; and (e) the potential of a participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury to the participant or others, such as failing to maintain control over the animal or not acting within his or her ability.
