4. Scope — Per-Trip or Blanket Authorization

The Owner elects (check one): ☐ PER-TRIP — this Authorization covers only the single trip described in Section 2 and expires when that trip is complete; or ☐ BLANKET — this Authorization covers all transport of the horse by the Transporter from [START DATE] through [END DATE], and the Transporter will record the origin, destination, date, and purpose of each trip. A blanket authorization may be revoked by the Owner in writing at any time; revocation does not affect a trip already under way.

5. Assumption of Risk and Owner Acknowledgment

The Owner understands that trailering and transporting a horse are inherently dangerous and that a horse may be injured or killed despite careful handling. A horse may panic, scramble, kick, rear, fall, or injure itself while loading, hauling, or unloading; may be hurt by sudden stops, traffic accidents, road or weather conditions, or equipment or tire failure; and may colic, tie up, overheat, or suffer other stress-related illness in transit. The Owner knowingly and voluntarily assumes these inherent risks of transport.
