9. Disclaimer
The information provided through Balance First by Wendy Poore, including all website content, courses, videos, workshops, emails, and community discussions, is for educational purposes only. Nothing we share should be considered veterinary, medical, legal, or financial advice. You are responsible for your own decisions, actions, and the wellbeing of your horse, and you should always seek guidance from a qualified veterinarian, medical professional, or other licensed expert when needed.
Working with horses involves inherent risks. Horses are large, powerful, and unpredictable animals, and any interaction - on the ground or under saddle - carries the possibility of injury. All training suggestions, exercises, and demonstrations are offered for learning and reflection. You are responsible for assessing your own skill level, physical ability, environment, and the behaviour of your horse before attempting any activity. Always prioritise your personal safety and the safety of your horse, use appropriate equipment, and seek hands‑on support from a qualified professional when required.
We make reasonable efforts to ensure our content is accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee completeness or suitability for every individual situation. Your use of our content is entirely at your own discretion and risk.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:
- Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages
- Losses arising from your use of the Services
- Actions you take based on the information provided
Your use of the Services is at your own discretion and risk.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access if:
- You violate these Terms
- Your payments fail
- Your behaviour compromises the safety of the community
You may also delete your account at any time.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms occasionally.
When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of the page.
Continued use of the Services means you accept the updated Terms.
