General Conditions
This contract is a "Live Foal" contract. "Live Foal" is
herein defined as a newborn foal, which stands and nurses without assistance.
If the foal is born dead, or if the mare does not otherwise carry to term, there
shall be a return privilege for the following breeding season only if the notification
procedures as set forth below are followed.
None of the above-described fees shall be refundable except as described below.
However, Farm guarantees a return breeding for the following breeding season
for said mare or an approved substitute should a "live foal" as above-described
not result from this mating. Should this mating not produce a live foal, it
must be evidenced by a written statement from a licensed veterinarian dated
within one week from the date of death of the fetus, or in the alternative,
a sworn statement from said veterinarian that the mare is no longer in foal
and the date of fetus loss is unknown.
In the event of the death of the above-named stallion, this contract shall become
null and void. No money shall be refunded to mare owner except the booking fee
if the mare has not been bred. In the event of the stallion's death prior to
the delivery of a live foal, the live foal guarantee as above described shall
become null and void. Should the mare die subsequent to payment of the booking
fee but prior to breeding, only the booking fee will be refunded to Mare Owner.
No other fees or charges are refundable except as described in this paragraph.
Mare Owner agrees to furnish a negative Coggins Test (EIA) upon mare's arrival
to the breeding farm. All mares must be accompanied upon arrival by a 30 day
EVA (Equine Viral Artiritis) health certificate. Mare Owner authorizes Farm,
to engage performance of such other veterinary services as Farm may deem necessary
for the proper treatment, care and protection of the mare and/or foal at side.
This is to be done at the Mare Owner's expense and will be billed and payable
as above described. No sick mares will be accepted by Farm for any reason. Mares
that arrive and show obvious signs of illness will not be allowed on Farm premises.
This evaluation is at the sole discretion of the Farm.
In the event of colic or life threatening illness of the mare, all means available
will be utilized to save said mare unless otherwise instructed by Mare Owner,
including surgery if recommended by the veterinarian. Mare Owner shall pay any
and all costs in connection therewith.
Farm shall not be liable for any sickness, disease, estray, theft, death, or
injury which may be suffered by the mare and/or foal at side, or any other cause
of action whatsoever arising out of or connected in any way with the breeding
or boarding of the mare and/or foal. This includes, but is not limited to, any
personal injury or disability which the Mare Owner or Owners may receive while
on the premises of the breeding facility.
Mares that are not halter broken will not be accepted. Mare Owner further authorizes
breeding by artificial insemination.
Farm request you return a copy of your mare's registration papers with this
contract.
It is understood that the breeding season for Farm commences on February 5th
of the calendar year and terminates July 5th of the same calendar year. Mares
that do not come into season or are not settled within said breeding season
as above-described shall be carried over to the following year, or may be re-bred
during the following heat(s) if it is practical for Farm to do so. In the event
mare owner elects to rebreed during the following breeding season, Mare Owner
agrees to pay any increase in the stallion service fee, chute fee, or mare care
fee.
Sale of the mare by Mare Owner to another party or parties will terminate the
live foal guarantee as set forth above and described in this contract unless
same is acknowledged and accepted in writing by Farm.
Farm will gladly accept checks with a valid driver’s license and major
credit card number. A $75.00 return check fee will be charged for every return
check received by the Farm. Farm also accepts all major credit cards: Visa,
Master Card, American Express and Discover Cards.
