California Court of Appeal

In a personal injury action based on plaintiff's fall from a horse, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where, although it became evident the injured rider lacked the skills to control a horse in that setting, the owners of the horse were entitled to accept plaintiff's representation that she had experience riding horses, thus indicating she knew how to control horses.
