EQUINE THERAPY PERMISSIONS AND LIABILITY WAIVERS
NORTHERN MICHIGAN EQUINE THERAPY (NMET)
NMET Self-Development HorseSense® Program
“Healing invisible scars”
NMET provides a unique opportunity to experience the healing nature of a horse in a safe, non-competitive, and non-judgmental setting. Through hands-on therapy sessions, clients are surrounded in an environment that radiates calmness, values the hard work that comes with horses, and provides a literal and mental breath of fresh air.
A horse mirrors emotions, reads nonverbal cues, and reacts to the body language of humans. When these equine instincts are professionally incorporated as a self-development therapy tool, the horse-human connection becomes a powerful healing force, helping clients to realize their own self-worth and increases self-awareness of body language and communication skills.
“I love this place and will never leave. It is the only thing that works for me.”
– NMET HorseSense student

TRANSPORTATION LIABILITY WAIVER
This form is to be completely filled out and signed by a parent or legal guardian before any child or youth under the age of 18 may be transported by Depot staff and/or volunteers for any Depot event. Permission will remain active until revoked by parent or legal guardian. If a child is dropped off or picked up for an event requiring transportation, that is considered permission for that particular event.
I hereby give my permission for my minor child to ride the shuttle van or other vehicles, including but not limited to charter buses, that are used for Depot functions. I understand that in submitting this form, I release and hold harmless The Depot Jordan Valley Teen Center and all other Depot-related functions.
By submitting the registration form, I release and hold harmless The Depot’s Board of Directors, employees, contractors, and any volunteers from any liability, past or future, fully and completely. I authorize the staff or designated medical professionals and/or volunteers to administer emergency medical assistance if I cannot be reached.
