not be able to stand and nurse, even after appropriate Veterinary care has been
sought and provided, Mare Owner should notify the Stallion Owner within
seventy-two (72) hours and provide a veterinarian’s statement confirming loss /
death of foal within ten days. If any of
these situations named above happens, the Stallion Owner will give to the Mare

mutually agreed upon, at no service fee (mare care still extra). If Mare Owner fails to provide the mare for
rebreeding, then any and all fees paid shall be non-refundable, the right to
rebreed is canceled, and the Stallion Owner is released from any further
