Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The appellant is the owner of real property upon which her lessee operates a boarding stable for horses, and from which a horse which was neither owned nor controlled by the appellant wandered onto a public road causing damage to the appellee. The judgment against the appellant is reversed with directions to enter judgment in her favor upon a holding that the owner of land, who neither owns nor has custody or control of any livestock on the property, has no duty to erect or maintain a fence upon the land.
