Lochinvar Donatello 2008 Transported Cooled Semen Agreement

This contract supercedes any public advertisement and is entered into and is between the undersigned Moon Ridge Farm known as “STALLION OWNER” and the undersigned “MARE OWNER” and Craig D. Canner known herein as “STALLION MANAGER”. This contract sets forth the rights and responsibilities of the parties for the 2008 breeding season. All parties agree that they have executed a breeding contract to breed the mare named below to Lochinvar Donatello, WPCSA # A-41859. In addition to the rights and duties placed upon all parties to the breeding contract, it is mutually agreed by all parties that good and sufficient consideration exists to execute this transported cooled semen agreement for the breeding season mentioned below.

1. MARE OWNER shall pay non-refundable booking fee of $100.00 which is payable upon execution of this agreement. The booking fee must be paid in order to guarantee shipped semen availability, otherwise non-booked mares will be based on availability.

2. All parties agree that every semen shipment to the MARE OWNER shall be at a cost of $ 200.00 for each semen shipment for the attending veterinarians' and our expenses for the timing arrangements, semen collection, evaluation, processing, packaging, and handling. The FedEx charges for express delivery will be an additional fee. These costs must be paid in advance of the shipment of semen.

3. MARE OWNER understands that OHIO STATE ATI in Wooster, Ohio will perform all collection, evaluation, packaging and shipment of cooled semen. The MARE OWNER certifies that STALLION MANAGER is obligated to coordinate the transport of cooled semen to the address of record, which has been provided in writing by MARE OWNER, prior to any shipment of cooled semen. If the MARE OWNER requests more than one shipment, the semen will be shipped to the last known address of record provided by the MARE OWNER to the STALLION MANAGER.

4. The mare owner certifies that the address of record for shipment is a suitable facility for the artificial insemination of the mare contracted to be bred. It is imperative that MARE OWNER’s veterinarian be aware of mare’s current breeding status and that she is, in fact, ready to breed. It is the STALLION MANAGER’s stated preference that all semen shipments are made to and inseminations performed at established breeding farms. The mare owner certifies that only the shipped semen of Lochinvar Donatello shall inseminate the mare that is the subject of the breeding contract.

5. A contract for cooled semen does not guarantee that semen will be available on the day you submit your request. Booked mares will be given priority for semen. Collection days will be in the morning on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the shipment leaving that afternoon.

6. All requests for semen must be made at least one day (24 hours) prior to shipment.

7. Cooled semen bookings will be, by necessity, of limited availability if the stallion’s book fills with mares to be bred on the premises of STALLION MANAGER.

8. Moon Ridge Farm will use a disposable shipping container, Equine Express II by Exodus Breeder Supply.

9. OHIO STATE ATI shall ship semen collected from Lochinvar Donatello by an overnight courier, such as Federal Express or UPS to the address of record provided in writing by the MARE OWNER on the day when the semen is collected. If semen is needed the same day via an airline, if available, MARE OWNER will be responsible for the additional charge of $ 100.00 to counter to counter ship the semen. STALLION OWNER and STALLION MANAGER further certify that the semen, when collected, will be of such a degree of mobility and motility so as to reasonably be acceptable for breeding.

10. The MARE OWNER agrees to comply with all WPCSA or other breed association requirements concerning the use and handling of Transported Cooled Semen. The MARE OWNER shall properly send the appropriate copies of the collection /Insemination Certificate to their breed association and to the STALLION OWNER at the address appearing below.

11. The STALLION MANAGER may refuse to make repeated shippings of cooled semen if the semen as deemed by the STALLION MANAGER will not reasonably lead to the successful insemination of the mare as contracted.

12. All of the parties to this agreement agree that the obligations of performance by the STALLION OWNER and the STALLION MANAGER shall be met when the chilled semen shipment is accepted at the address of record as provided by the MARE OWNER. Acceptance shall be defined as the contract expedited parcel delivery carrier actually delivering the shipment container to the address of record and receiving a signature from a representative of the address of record on the shipment documents maintained during the ordinary course of business by the contract expedited parcel delivery carrier. All parties to this agreement agree that the risk of loss transfers to the MARE OWNER upon acceptance of delivery.

13. The STALLION OWNER and the MARE OWNER shall execute a “Transported Semen Breeders Certificate” and shall comply with any parentage verification as required by the WPCSA, or their respective breed association. This agreement is limited to the breeding season for the year of 2008.

14. This contract shall be governed by the Laws of the State of Ohio and is hereby executed as of the date signed by the STALLION OWNER which date shall govern the effective dates of said contract.
