### Facts:

### Outcome:
The court ultimately dismissed the claims against Country View Equestrian Center, ruling in favor of the defendant. The judgement highlighted the importance of personal responsibility in recreational activities that inherently carry risk.
### Conclusion:
Abigail Brown's case against Country View Equestrian Center was dismissed due to the plaintiff's assumption of risk and the equestrian center’s adherence to safety protocols. This case underscores the legal principle that participants in inherently risky activities must acknowledge and accept the risks associated with those activities.
