According to the San Francisco Chronicle, an appeals court has ruled that a waiver signed by a woman injured on a horseback ride was too ambiguous to absolve the stables from responsibility. The judge ruled that the woman's personal injury lawsuit could proceed, even though the woman had already received a settlement  from the stables for an undisclosed sum. The appeals court opinion was published as a precedent for future cases. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the woman was thrown from her horse when it unexpectedly bolted, and received cuts and bruises.
