Palmquist V. Mercer

Plaintiff sought damages for personal injuries sustained by him while riding a horse which he had rented from a riding academy. At the close of plaintiff's case, the court granted defendants' motions for nonsuit, and plaintiff appeals from the judgment subsequently entered. Upon consideration of the record, we have concluded that plaintiff's evidence was sufficient to require submission of the case to the jury as to defendant Mercer, who was the owner of the riding academy, but that the nonsuit was properly granted as to the other defendants.
