JUDGMENT 
 
The Golden Age Ranch, Inc. (“Golden Age”) owns a ranch on 
St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands (the “ranch”). On July 
25, 2013, Jennifer Sheridan-Jimenez (“Jimenez”) and her 
daughter, Melissa Salicco (“Salicco”), visited the ranch while 
vacationing on St. Thomas. Jimenez and Salicco went horseback 
riding. As part of Jimenez and Salicco’s horseback riding 
excursion, a guide was provided by the ranch to accompany 
Jimenez and Salicco. The guide also rode a horse.

Towards the end of the horseback riding excursion, the 
guide dismounted his horse and proceeded to open a gate. Salicco

horse. Salicco was thrown off her horse. Salicco was injured as 
a result of her fall.

suit in this Court against Golden Age. The Complaint asserts

September 22, 2015, the magistrate granted the Motion for 
Settlement Approval.
