UNDER ADVISEMENT RULING

The Court has before it, following oral argument, Defendant’s Verified Motion for
Summary Judgment filed August 6, 2014, Plaintiff’s Response to Defendant’s Verified Motion
for Summary Judgment and Plaintiff’s Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment filed September 14,
2015, Defendant’s Reply in Support of Verified Motion for Summary Judgment and Response to
Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment filed October 20, 2014, and Plaintiff’s Reply in Support of
Verified Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment filed October 29, 2014.

At the conclusion of oral argument on February 20, 2015 the Court denied Plaintiff’s
Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment.

Rule 56(c) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure provides that the Court may grant a
motion for summary judgment only if there “is no genuine issue of material fact….” Any
evidence or reasonable inference contrary to fact which the moving party needs to show his
entitlement to judgment will preclude summary judgment. United Bank of Arizona v. Allyn, 167
Ariz. 191 (Ct.App. 1990). If there are material facts upon which reasonable people could reach
different conclusions, summary judgment is not appropriate. Gold Insurance Company v.
Grishom, 126 Ariz. 123 (1980).

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2013-014446

03/02/2015

Docket Code 926
Form V000A

In making a determination on a motion for summary judgment, the court should consider
the evidence and state the facts in the light most favorable to the party opposing the summary
judgment and indulge in all reasonable inferences in support thereof. City of Tucson v.
Sanderson, 104 Ariz. 151 (1969). Moreover, courts have long held that the interests of justice are
best served by a trial on the merits. Comacho v. Gardner, 104 Ariz. 555 (1969).

In this case the Court finds that based on the pleadings, affidavits, statements and
argument of counsel that if a person decides to keep a horse in the community barn they agree to
participate in the barn’s program. While the document may be inartfully drafted, the plain
meaning is clear. If you choose to board a horse you agree to the barn’s programs.

In addition, the Court finds that there are no material facts in dispute as to Counts 1, 2, 3,
and 4.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED granting Defendant’s Verified Motion for Summary Judgment.
