Volunteer Confidentiality Policy
It is the policy of Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship to respect the privacy of riders/participants, volunteers, and personnel and hold in confidence all information obtained in the course of service. Information considered to be confidential includes all medical, familial, social, referral, personal and financial concerns regarding a participant and/or his/her family; volunteer or personnel. Such information is considered confidential regardless of how it is obtained, whether directly from the participant or family; CTRH staff, volunteer or others associated with CTRH; or inadvertently from other sources, such as but not limited to a chart, computer screen or overheard conversation. Instructors may deem it necessary to inform individuals directly associated with participant/rider medical/behavior information related to providing therapeutic riding services to the participant/rider. This information will be used solely for therapeutic riding purposes. Otherwise, information and confidences will not be disclosed to anyone, except: 1) As mandated by law; 2) To prevent a clear and immediate danger to a person or persons; 3) Where requested in a civil, criminal, or disciplinary action arising from the therapy (in which case rider/participant confidences may only be disclosed in the course of action); 4) If there is a waiver previously obtained in writing and then such information may only be revealed in accordance with the terms of the waiver; and 5) As required for accreditation reviews.

I hereby, intending to be legally bound, for myself, my heirs and assigns, executors or administrators, waive and release forever all claims for damages, known or unknown whether existing on the date of agreement or in the future, against Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship, its Board of Directors, employees, instructors, therapists, volunteers equines and equine owners, for any and all injuries and/or losses I may sustain while participating in Cincinnati Therapeutic Riding and Horsemanship. I understand that some of the inherent risks in equine activity include, but are not limited to: A) The propensity of an equine to behave in ways that may result in injury, death, or loss to persons on or around the equine; B) The unpredictability of an equine’s reaction to sounds, sudden movement, unfamiliar objects, persons or other animals; C) Hazards, including, but not limited to, surface and subsurface conditions; D) A collision with another equine, another animal, a person, or an object; E) The potential of an equine activity participant to act in a negligent manner that may contribute to injury, death, or loss to the person of the participant or to other persons, including, but not limited to, failing to maintain control over an equine or failing to act within the ability of the participant.
