Breeding Contract

 

Subject to the following terms and conditions, I the undersigned (hereafter Mare Owner) hereby agree to breed the mare______________________________ to the stallion Astrachan during the 2009 breeding season using Frozen Semen.

 

Fees payable: Frozen Semen- Concurrent with the return of this agreement, the Mare Owner agrees to pay a non-refundable booking fee of $250.00. No semen will be shipped until the booking fee is paid and arrangements for shipping fees are made.

                 Stud Fee:  The Mare Owner agrees to pay a stud fee of $1000 ($1250-$250) for purebred Akhal-Teke mares and $600 ($850-$250) for non purebred and non Akhal-Teke mares to Cascade Gold Akhal-Tekes when the mare is ultrasounded in foal between 14 and 30 days after breeding.

 

Stallion Owner agrees that if the stud fee is paid, and said mare subsequently, as a result of this breeding, does not have a live foal that can stand and nurse unassisted, the stud fee will be carried forward to the next breeding season for either this mare or another one. The stud fee shall only be carried forward one season, thereafter, this contract will be deemed fulfilled. Should the stud fee charged by the sire manager change, the mare owner will not be expected to pay the difference, but will have to pay any booking fees that are charged. Once a live foal has been delivered, assisted or unassisted, that can stand and nurse unassisted, this contract is deemed fulfilled. In the case of the birth of twins, alive or stillborn, then this contract may be deemed fulfilled at the discretion of the stallion manager.

 

Mare Owner is responsible for having their own veterinarian culture the mare while she is in heat prior to breeding. A copy of the negative culture may be requested by the Stallion Owner. If the mare is to be live covered, a negative culture will be required by the Stallion Owner.  All inseminations must be performed by a licensed veterinarian, or a qualified Veterinary Technician.

 

The stud fee will be carried forward, and the live-foal guarantee is valid, only if the Mare Owner has properly maintained the health of the mare, and verifies the mare's pregnancy loss, still birth, or newborn foal death by notifying by phone within 48 hours and sending a signed and dated veterinary certificate within 10 days, clearly stating the following:

             1) Identification of the mare named within

             2) Verification of the loss of pregnancy or still birth

           3) Verification that, in the veterinarian's best judgement, the mare was maintained in a reasonable state of health, including vaccinations and deworming, and that monitoring of the mare around the time of foaling was adequate enough to reasonably detect and attend to any foaling difficulties.

 

Mare must be examined by a licensed veterinarian between 14-30 days after the last day bred and stallion manager is to be notified of her pregnancy status at that time or all live foal guarantees are null and void. Mare must also be examined by a licensed veterinarian between 45-65 days after the last day bred and a certificate from the mare owner's veterinarian be sent to the stallion manager stating the results of the examination to retain re-breeding rights under the live foal guarantee.

 

It is further agreed that if the mare dies or becomes unfit for service PRIOR to shipment of semen, then any deposits paid will be refunded and this contract will become null and void.

 

Mare Owner understands that at least 24 hours advance notice must be given Cascade Gold Akhal-Tekes for shipping of frozen semen. If less than 24 hours advance notice is given, the request will be accommodated if possible. Federal Express overnight service will be used in most cases. If insufficient advance is given and counter to counter airfreight is used, there are extra costs involved.

 

I, the undersigned, do hereby certify that I am the Mare Owner named herein and that I have read and understood this contract. This contract is binding upon both parties when signed and is non-assignable or transferable.
