_______________________________________
Reg. #: ___________________________. MARE OWNER wishes to breed said MARE to said STALLION during the 20________ season. RTPH’s regular breeding season is from Feb. 15th through Sep. 15th.
1. BREEDING FEE: $ 600 - includes a non-refundable booking fee of $200. The Breeding Fee balance must be paid in full when mare arrives at RTPH. For your convenience, credit cards are accepted via PayPal.
2. ADDITIONAL FEES: If MARE is boarded at RTPH and remains here until she is checked in foal, there are no additional collection and/or insemination fees. However, if you are just bringing her in during her heat cycle and taking her straight home, the first cycle collection and/or insemination fees are included in the stud fee. Any subsequent heat cycles will be an additional $100 A.I. fee per cycle.
3. MARE CARE: ________ per day for boarding of MARE is agreed upon and due monthly and before MARE leaves RTPH. Mares must be easily handled, easily haltered, and stand tied. Follicle checks, cultures, pregnancy checks, and any veterinary treatments will be billed at time of service by attending veterinarian. All mare care and farrier bills must be paid in full before mare leaves RTPH.
4. MARE'S HEALTH: MARE OWNER agrees that MARE is in sound breeding condition, free from infectious, contagious, and/or transmittable diseases. MARES must be wormed within 30 days with Ivermectin, vaccinated within 3 months for Sleeping Sickness, Tetanus, Rhino, Flu, and West Nile vaccinations prior to their arrival at RTPH. MARE OWNER authorizes RTPH to obtain said vaccinations if not previously done, at MARE OWNER'S expense. Out of state MARES must have a negative Coggins Test prior to arrival. It is recommended that ALL MARES be cultured and have a Breeding Soundness Exam on their cycle prior to arriving at RTPH. If you are unable to have her cultured and a BSE done, RTPH can have them done for you. If you choose not to have them done on her first cylce, and MARE does not conceive on her first cycle, MARE OWNER authorizes RTPH to obtain said uterine culture and breeding soundness exam at MARE OWNER'S expense on her second cycle.
5. AUTHORIZATION FOR EMERGENCY VET CARE: MARE OWNER authorizes RTPH to obtain emergency veterinary care as in their best judgment is deemed necessary for the well being of the MARE/foal. Any costs incurred, due to said care, are the responsibility of the MARE OWNER.
6. PREGNANCY CHECK: MARE OWNER agrees to have the MARE examined by an early ultrasound scan between 16 and 18 days from the last day inseminated and notify RTPH of her pregnancy status. It is suggested that MARE be pregnancy checked again at 45 days.
7. LIVE FOAL GUARANTEE: If the MARE does not settle or produce a "live foal" (one that stands and nurses or is hand fed for a period of 72 hours), RTPH agrees to rebreed the same MARE or an approved substitute the following year on the terms and conditions provided in this contract with a rebreed fee of $100. MARE must be vaccinated for Rhinopneumonitis at 5th, 7th, and 9th month of gestation. Failure to do so may result in the loss of said pregnancy and voids all live foal guarantees. It is agreed that this provision will be of no further effect if the MARE is taken to any other stallion before returning to the above-named STALLION unless RTPH and mare owner make an agreement in writing that RTPH will hold over your contract for another year. The live-foal guarantee is valid, ONLY if MARE OWNER has properly maintained the health of the MARE, and verifies the MARE’S pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or newborn foal’s death by providing RTPH with an original, signed and dated veterinary certificate, on the veterinarian’s own practice stationary.
8. REGISTRATION OF FOAL: RTPH agrees to execute all necessary documents for the registration of the foal resulting from the breeding. RTPH will not be responsible for registration fees or DNA testing fees for the foal.
9. TERMINATION: Either party may terminate this Contract for failure of other party to meet any terms of this contract. In the case of any default by one party, the wronged party shall have the right to recover reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs as a result of said default. If the STALLION should die, become unfit for service, be sold, or leased, MARE OWNER will be able to select another STALLION currently standing and owned/leased/managed by RTPH . If MARE dies or becomes unfit to breed before producing a live foal, then MARE OWNER may substitute another MARE approved by RTPH.
10. LIABILITY WAIVER: MARE OWNER assumes all risks connected with breeding of said MARE and/or foal; and MARE OWNER agrees to indemnify and hold harmless from liability RTPH, Christine Michelson, SMS Equine Reproduction Center, stallion owners, agents, and/or employees from any and all claims of any nature whatsoever including buy not limited to any loss from fire, theft, sickness, disease, injury, death or other harm suffered by MARE and/or foal. Likewise, MARE OWNER assumes no liability for injury, sickness, or death of STALLION, owners, or employees, caused by MARE and/or foal. MARE OWNER understands that RTPH/Christine Michelson does not carry any form of insurance on MARE OWNER'S horses. It is suggested that MARE OWNER carry a mortality policy on their MARE.
