Create, Send & Collect Waivers with Ease

Launch digital horseback riding waivers in minutes with Smart Forms, multi-channel delivery, and real-time check-in.

Step 1 – Create

Upload your existing waiver or build from scratch with our Waiver Builder. Smart Forms adapt for minors/guardians, require safety acknowledgments, and capture important rider information like experience level and health disclosures.
Step 2 – Send
Share waivers via SMS, email, QR code at the barn, or through iPad kiosks. Riders and guardians can complete them in advance, reducing delays before mounting up.

Step 3 – Collect

Track completed waivers instantly, with smart flags for minors, risky answers, or missing details. All documents are ESIGN/UETA compliant, tamper-evident, and securely stored.

Horseback Riding Waivers, Done Right

Paper waivers blow away in the wind, get lost in saddlebags, and slow down the ride. OtterSign keeps your liability forms digital and accessible—ensuring every rider signs before hitting the trail. Each e-signature includes a full ESIGN/UETA audit trail—timestamps, IPs, and version history—for legal defensibility. With OtterText integration, you can request reviews, send return-ride offers, or even automate reminders for riding lessons or seasonal events.
