Amy B. Beem v. Nancy M. Temple

Summary

The court held that Maine's equine-activity immunity statute protects only equine activity sponsors, equine professionals, and persons engaged in equine activities, so it did not immunize Temple, who was driving a UTV and was not engaged in an equine activity. The court also held that Beem presented prima facie evidence of duty, breach, and causation sufficient to avoid summary judgment. The judgment granting Temple summary judgment was vacated and the case was remanded.
