- A Booking Fee of $500 of
the above fee is payable with this contract and the balance of $500 (*plus shipped semen
cost, if applicable) plus
all unpaid expenses will be payable upon receipt of an invoice or when the mare
leaves the farm, whichever is first. The Breeder requires 48 hours advance
notice when the Mare Owner wishes to remove his mare(s) from the farm. This
will allow us sufficient time to prepare the required health papers and final
statement so the Owner may settle his account. The booking fee is
non-refundable. 18% interest per annum will be charged on all accounts in
excess of thirty days. This contract is governed by the laws of the state of
Texas.
- A photostatic copy of
registration papers (both sides), a veterinarian's health certificate, worming,
and immunization records shall accompany mare. If these are not presented upon
mare's arrival, the Breeder shall have the attending veterinarian make proper
tests and evaluations at the Mare Owner's expense. Mare (and foal, if
applicable) will be periodically vaccinated and wormed as deemed necessary by
our veterinarian at Mare Owner's expense. Flu and pneumobort K vaccine must be
given before the mare arrives. A current Coggings Test shall be furnished upon
delivery of mare to the breeding farm. It is recommended that mares be wormed
within 60 days of entering the farm.
- The Mare Owner shall agree that
each mare offered for breeding shall be in sound breeding condition and free
from infection or disease. Any mare certified by the attending veterinarian not
to be, in his opinion, in sound breeding condition shall not be bred. A Mare
Owner may substitute another mare within that breeding season.
- The Breeder agrees to diligently
try and settle the above named mare and shall have sole discretion of
determining the best method of breeding such mare. If, however, the mare does
not settle, the Breeder shall not be held harmless. There will be no guarantee
of a live foal for any mare leaving Steve Heckaman Quarter Horses before being
checked safe in foal by the attending veterinarian.
- Live Foal Guarantee. Live foal
means the foal shall stand and nurse. It is understood that if the mare proves
barren, aborts her foal, or if the foal is stillborn, A RETURN SEASON WILL
BE GUARANTEED THE FOLLOWING YEAR ONLY , providing notification is given.
Proper notification shall be defined as follows: Written certification by a
licensed veterinarian within 7 days that the mare has slipped or produced a
Non-Viable foal. Mare Owner certifies that such abortion or death did not
result from any act or omission of the Owner subsequent to the mare's departure
from Steve Heckaman Quarter Horses. Booster Rhinopneumonitis be administered as
indication by the individual drug manufacturer as the mare progresses through
her pregnancy. Failure to do this will void live foal guarantee.
- Rebreeds are subject to an
additional chute fee plus any increases in breeding fee. No live foal guarantee
on third year rebreeds.
- Color Guarantee: Rebreed in
________________ only with __________________ chute fee.
- The breeding season in force for
this contract shall begin February 1st and close July 1st of the year covered
by this contract.
- It is further agreed that should
the above named stallion die, or become unfit for service, or, if the above
named mare dies, during the breeding season then the Mare Owner may substitute
another mare or breed the above named mare to another stallion on the farm that
is agreed to by both the Mare Owner and Breeder.
- A breeder's certificate will be
issued to Mare Owner after all expenses have been paid in full and upon
notification of the birth of the foal.
- Waiver of Liability. It is
understood the breeding farm, its owners, stallion owners, employees,
Veterinarians, and guests shall not be liable for any injury, escape,
disability, or death of any horse on its premises. The above named Mare Owner,
whose horse(s) are under the care of Steve Heckaman Quarter Horses will not be
liable or responsible for any damage, injury or death to the breeding farm
stallions, employees, veterinarians, or other animals in the care of Steve
Heckaman Quarter Horses, whether or not caused by his horse.
- When the above named Mare Owner
signs and returns one copy of this contract to the Breeder, it will then be a
binding contract on both parties, subject to the above terms and conditions.
