semen (non-refundable), or with delivery to the W/W of the mare to be bred,
$____ due when the mare is documented safe in foal, unless otherwise agreed upon
by both the stallion and mare owners in advance as follows:
The stallion owner agrees:
Semen will be shipped within 24 hours of notification of the mare owner's
need for semen. (This is a maximum time, very rarely required to arrange
transportation.) The collection,
processing and shipping will be done with the utmost concern for time and
cleanliness possible with modern techniques. The stallion owner will provide a minimum of 1 billion
progressively motile sperm per bag. Every effort will be made to provide three
bags per shipment, with a minimum of two.
If the mare is to be bred on the W/W premises, she will be provided safe
facilities, and cared for and fed in a good and husband-like manner. Veterinary
and farrier assistance will be sought in a timely manner when deemed necessary
by the stallion owner or designates. A conscientious effort will be made to
impregnate the mare in a timely fashion. Reasonable attempts will be made to
contact the mare owner in the case of an emergency.
The mare owner will not be held responsible for disease, accident or
injury to other horses on the ranch, including the breeding stallion.
Prior to October 15 of the breeding year, a record of the service will be
provided to the TWHBEA, guaranteeing that the foal can be registered with the
TWHBEA.
The mare owner agrees:
For the purposes of insemination by transported semen, experienced and
competent veterinary assistance will be engaged to insure that the mare is in
good general and reproductive health, that she is cycling or is cycled with as
much accuracy as possible, and that she is inseminated as close to ovulation as
possible. All applicable fees and
expenses related to collection of the stallion and shipment of the semen are the
responsibility of the mare owner.
If the mare is delivered [or delivery arranged] to the W/W
Ranch, she will be in good flesh, good general and reproductive health, and have
a negative Coggins certificate if not of local origin. The following
vaccinations will be current: tetanus, Eastern and Western equine encephalitis [EWEE],
Potomac fever, flu, and rhino. Strangles is encouraged.
The mare will have been wormed within the previous three weeks with
Ivermectin.
The mare owner will pay the following for on premises care
on or before the first of the month: _____/day (dry) $_____/day (wet). Late
charges will be subject to 18% interest. He/she will be responsible for all
veterinary and farrier expenses incurred in properly caring for the above mare
(and foal).
The stallion owner will not be held responsible for injury,
illness, or other untoward events involving the mare and/or her foal (if any),
including the death of either or both. The
stallion owner will be supplied with a copy of the mare's registration papers
prior to shipment of semen or the mare's arrival at the ranch.
The stallion owner will be notified within 7 days of the birth of a live
foal or within 72 hours of the loss of the foal at birth.
Additional conditions:
This contract must be completed in full and appropriate fees paid prior to
shipment of semen or to delivery of the mare.
This contract is non-transferable, and is invalid 14 months from the date
of signing. This contract is null
and void upon the occasion of the death or incapacitation of the stallion.
Live foal guarantee:
If within 90 days the mare has failed to conceive, after consultation with
the mare owner, a veterinarian will examine the mare, and depending on the
advice given, the mare will be rebred or a substitute mare served. This
guarantee is valid for the current breeding season, and the following year.
Failure to carry or produce a live foal is to be evidenced by a written
statement from a qualified veterinarian. Abortion
for no obvious reason in the last half of the pregnancy requires veterinary
documentation of appropriate Rhinopneumonitis vaccination at 4,6,8 and 10 months
(or 5, 7 and 9) to validate the
live foal guarantee. Knowingly
allowing twins to be carried beyond 16 days voids the LFG.
A "live foal" is defined as a foal that is able to stand and
nurse or is hand-fed for a period of 72 hours.
In the event of failure to produce a live foal the stallion owner agrees
to rebreed the mare in the current or following breeding season.
The shipping, veterinary, farrier and boarding expenses for re-breeding
will be borne by the mare owner.
