Otherwise, the non-booked MARE OWNER will not have priority over a booked MARE OWNER. The mare will not be released to the MARE OWNER or the owner’s agent until all fees are paid to date, to include mare care, stud fee and medical expenses(ultra sound or emergency). The STALLION OWNER and the STALLION MANAGER shall have a possessory lien on the mare for all unpaid bills. Where Transported Cooled Semen is required, the stud fee and the entire collection fee of $200.00 plus FedEx shipping charges is payable in advance of shipping semen. NO OTHER FEES WILL BE INCURRED.

2. MARE OWNER shall deliver the mare in a healthy and sound breeding condition free from infection or disease. MARE OWNER agrees that STALLION OWNER and STALLION MANAGER have permission to have the mare treated by a licensed veterinarian for pregnancy examination, and have reasonable and necessary veterinary services performed for any condition which might insure the mare’s well-being as the STALLION MANAGER deems necessary or proper at the expense of the MARE OWNER. A current negative Coggins Test document shall be delivered to the STALLION MANAGER together with a photocopy of both sides of the registration papers for the mare. A veterinarian’s health certificate, worming and immunization record must accompany the mare. If said health documents do not accompany the mare the STALLION MANAGER shall notify the MARE OWNER and may direct a licensed veterinarian to examine and/or test the mare at the MARE OWNER’S expense. STALLION OWNER or STALLION MANAGER reserves the right to refuse the mare if the mare is not in satisfactory condition. If the mare is refused, the booking fee shall constitute liquidated damages. A MARE OWNER may substitute another mare within that breeding season. MARE OWNER certifies that mare has had at least 60 days of 16 hours per day of light therapy if breeding in the months of March or April.

3. MARE OWNER shall be invoiced at the first of each month for all interim expenses including but not limited to veterinary services, farrier services(if requested), special dietary services(if requested) as well as mare care expenses. Said invoices are to be paid by MARE OWNER upon receipt of statement. Such charges shall be paid in full whether or not the mare is settled.

5. The breeding season begins March 15 and closes July 15 of the year covered by this contract.

6. STALLION OWNER guarantees a live foal from the breeding contracted for herein. “Live Foal” is defined as a foal that stands and nurses.

A written statement from a licensed veterinarian verifying that the mare has slipped or produced a non-viable foal must be sent to the STALLION OWNER.
