DOMENGEAUX, Judge.

In this tort suit, plaintiff, Carrol D. Marr, seeks recovery for injuries sustained while he was horseback riding when the saddle strap or girth securing the saddle to the horse broke, causing plaintiff to fall from the horse. Plaintiff sued James Rex Fair, the owner of the saddle, and St. Paul Fire & Marine Insurance Co., the liability insurer of Mr. Fair. After trial the court rendered judgment in defendant’s favor. Plaintiff has appealed. Defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for the reason that it was untimely filed.
