Description
The plaintiff individually and as personal representative of the Estate of Dr. Rex Ruppa, deceased, commenced this action for the wrongful death of her husband Dr. Rex Ruppa. All of the named defendants brought on a motion for summary judgment. The motion was granted and judgment was entered dismissing the complaint as to all defendants. The plaintiff appeals. The accident that gave rise to the wrongful death action occurred on August 2, 1973, during the Madison Imperial Horse Show conducted on the Dane County Exposition grounds. Most of the events took place in a building called the Coliseum. However, the accident in question occurred in the building called the Arena. Dr. Rex Ruppa entered an event called cutting. Cutting is the separating of one animal from a herd of cattle. This exercise requires a well-trained horse. Dr. Ruppa, an experienced horseman, owned such a horse and used it in this contest. While participating in the event the horse slipped and fell, severely injuring Dr. Ruppa. He died of those injuries about six months later.
