Please note that the shipping
expense is a recurring expense. If more than one shipment is
required, the veterinary collection charge of $170 and the Fed Ex,
Airline and mileage must be paid again before the next shipment is
made. Mares that are brought to the property for live cover
may have to be artificially inseminated if we have to ship semen on
that stallion on the day the mare is scheduled to be bred naturally.
In that case, mare owner may be charged for veterinary fees for
insemination of the mare.
This Breeding Agreement is subject
to the following conditions: |
Payment of Fees: |
Stud
Fee, mare care and any other expenses (shoeing, vet, etc.) to be
paid in full when mare is picked up from Walkers West. (Make
check payable to Mary Ellen Areaux.) Stud fees paid and
not used are not refundable and may not be applied to other
expenses. (Foal registration papers and breeding certificates
will not be furnished until the mare owner’s account is in good
standing.) |
Shipping: |
It is
the mare owner’s responsibility to call in advance of the planned
breeding date to check the collection and shipping schedule at
Walkers West. Normal collection days are every other day,
Monday through Friday. Your request for semen needs to be
telephoned the day before to assure next day shipment.
The Shipping container (Equitainer)
will be furnished by Walkers West. All shipping charges,
veterinary charges and stud fee will be paid by the mare owner and
must be paid prior to the shipment of semen. The mare owner
agrees to return the Equitainer to Walkers West no later than two
days after receipt of semen by Next Day Delivery. If the Equitainer
is not returned promptly, there will be no further shipment of semen
to that mare owner. Failure to return the Equitainer within 10 days will result in a $100 penalty plus the cost of
replacing the container (approximately $400.)
Each shipment will
contain ONE or TWO insemination doses at the discretion of the
stallion manager.
Walkers West only assumes responsibility to
ship semen in a viable condition at the time of delivery to the mare
owner’s farm or other designated location. Walkers West
assumes no responsibility for the loss of semen viability or
associated expenses due to any delay in shipment, delay in airline
schedules, or delay in courier services beyond our control.
The semen must be administered by a licensed veterinarian or an
authorized technician on the day of delivery or all live foal
guarantees and return privileges shall be null and void. |
Live
Foal Guarantee: |
Should
the mare fail to produce a foal which stands and nurses, the mare
owner shall be entitled to rebreed the mare or a substitute mare for
a period of one year from the date of this agreement or the date of
the loss of the foal. There will be no additional breeding fee
for a rebreed, but all other veterinary fees, board fees and
transported semen fees shall apply. Failure to notify Walkers
West in a timely manner shall result in the loss of the live foal
guarantee and return privileges. This clause is also binding
in the case of an abortion. The mare owner fully understands,
authorizes, and assumes the special risk inherent in breeding with
the use of transported semen or live cover of the mare. Mare
Owner also understands the risk of failure due to many variables and
shall hold Walkers West and the stallion owner harmless for any
losses suffered due to an unsuccessful attempt at conception. Mary
Ellen Areaux or any other person associated with Walkers West shall
not be liable for the death, sickness and/or accident, including
consequential damages caused to the mare and/or foal, and mare owner
agrees to hold Mary Ellen Areaux or any other person associated with
Walkers West, harmless for any and all damages associated herewith.
Should the stallion to which you are breeding become unfit for
service or be sold prior to your mare’s conception, but after
payment of the breeding fee, the breeding fee may be applied to
another Walkers West stallion. Mare owner, stallion owner,
Walkers West and all associates therewith shall be released
from this agreement, thereby making it null and void. Stud
fees are not refundable. |
This
agreement constitutes and represents the entire agreement between
the parties. Mare Owner acknowledges and agrees that no
warranties or guarantees of any kind or character, expressed or
implied, (other than the Live Foal Guarantee policy as set forth
above), have been made or extended by Walkers West, Mary Ellen
Areaux or anyone associated with them, including stallion owners,
regarding either the services rendered or to be rendered or the
breeding of the mare or this breeding agreement. |
