If the mare proves not to be in foal in the year bred, or loses her foal, Mare Owner has the option to rebreed the mare the following year or provide a substitute mare the following year, in case of a problem mare, provided all documentation and health certificates are provided to Stallion Owner prior to mares arrival on property.
  1. The above is subject to the condition that notification must be made to Stallion Owner within 48 hours after time of foaling or aborting, that mare did not produce a live foal. A certified large animal veterinarian’s statement, in writing, must follow, giving particulars to substantiate live foal guarantee.

This return stud service, should it be chosen, consists of a ONE TIME waiver of the stud fee only. This does NOT include a waiver of any AI and /or shipping costs, collection costs, mare care, nor any other costs the Mare Owner may incur.
  1. It is further agreed that should the stallion die, be sold by the Stallion Owner, or become unfit for service prior to settling the mare, that 100% of the breeding fee will be refunded, if it has been paid in full, thereby canceling this entire contract. This refund will consist of the paid portion of the stud fee ONLY and will NOT include any other monies spent by the Mare Owner.
  2. If the mare dies or becomes unfit to breed, before being brought to Stallion owners property but after booking deposit and/or stud fee has been paid, the Stallion Owner may, at their sole discretion, accept another mare as a replacement. A replacement mare must be selected, and presented for breeding, with all proper documents and health certificates, as required in this contract for the original mare, in either the same year as this contract was issued into, or NO LATER than the IMMEDIATELY following year, otherwise the offer of accepting a replacement mare will be rendered NULL and VOID.
  3. Should Mare Owner decide not to breed the mare referred to in this contract, for any reason, and chooses not to provide a replacement mare per section 12 of this contract, all monies paid to Stallion Owner are forfeited. However, if Mare Owner chooses, said monies can be put towards a breeding the year IMMEDIATELY following the year in which this contract is entered into.
