I hereby agree on this the ________day of _________________20______  to breed the mare below to the Stallion,

A GOOD MACHINE, Reg# 3173093 for  the 2010 season using cooled transported semen subject to the following conditions:

Name of Mare_______________________________________________________Registration#_____________________

Breed_____________________   Owner on Papers__________________________________________________________

          The Total Breeding Fee for A Good Machine for the 2010 season is: $_SSA____________________________payable to KNIGHTS END PERFORMANCE HORSES.
(This Total Breeding Fee is broken down separately as  Stud Fee $___SSA____ and non-refundable Chute Fee $ __500.00____.)
The Total Breeding Fee shall be payable upon execution of this contract and must be paid a minimum of (10) days before semen will be shipped unless paid with cashiers check, money order, or credit card which may be paid anytime prior to shipment. At no time will any shipments be made without the Total Breeding Fee being paid in advance.  There is a $295.00 fee per shipment of cooled semen which includes shipment via Federal Express within the United States and $350.00 to Canada.  Additional charges of $30.00 for Saturday Federal Express deliveries.  If Semen is picked up at the ranch, the fee is $125 per semen packet per mare.   If shipment needs to be sent same day via Air Cargo within the US., the customer will pay a $375 shipped semen fee prior to shipment of semen or $400 when shipped to Canada.  All semen shipment fees and or semen pickup fees MUST BE PAID prior to shipment.

  1. Breeding Manager will begin shipping cooled semen on February 15 of the current breeding season and end June 30th.  A request for a shipment of cooled semen must be made by 5:00pm C.S.T. the evening PRIOR to shipping time. Cancellation must be made by 8:00 a.m. C.S.T. on shipping day to avoid a $75 cancellation fee.  One dose of semen will be sent per shipment.  Any late orders for semen accepted that involve hiring a courier to deliver semen to a Federal Express drop-off location will result in an additional $75 courier fee.  We will ship on a first requested, first served basis.  At no time will the Stallion Owner make a guarantee that cooled semen will be available on a specific breeding day.  Shipping days are Monday, Wednesday, Friday only.  We will not ship on any non-breeding days.
  2. The Breeding Manager has the right to set a limit of two (2) shipments per breeding cycle per mare and no more than five (5) shipments per breeding season per mare.  The Breeding Manager  reserves the right to require the mare owner transport the mare to the breeding farm if more than five (5) shipments per breeding season are requested. 
  3. Breeding Manager agrees to ship cooled semen as described above. If a mare fails to settle for any reason, mare owner will hold Stallion Owner, Stallion Manager or Marketing Manager blameless.   Stallion Owner and Breeding Farm bear no responsibility for the semen after it is shipped, picked up or is taken from the breeding farm.  This includes but is not limited to late deliveries by Federal Express and/or Airlines and/or Courier Services.  Mare Owner may choose to pay extra fees for insuring reimbursement for late and/or non-deliveries of semen.
  4. A Live Foal Guarantee will apply (except as provided in this paragraph and in paragraphs 5, 6, 8 and 9 below) for one year only to those mares that conceive and carry a pregnancy at least sixty (60) days from insemination. To be eligible for a live foal guarantee, a confirmation of pregnancy must be submitted from a veterinarian in the form of a documented ultrasound picture prior to the end of current breeding season.   A live foal is described as a newborn foal that stands and nurses without assistance.  If the foal is born dead, return privileges shall apply only if Breeding Manager is notified within seven (7) days thereof and receives a veterinarian’s statement confirming death within 30 days. 
  5. Return re-breed privileges shall apply only to the next normal breeding period and Stallion Manager  reserves the right to require the mare owner to transport the mare to the breeding farm.  A non-refundable rebreed Chute Fee must be paid prior to any mare being re-bred.  A substitute mare may be used at the sole discretion of the Stallion Manager only if the original mare has died or is deemed unfit for breeding.  No refunds will be given at anytime for any fees for any reason including the total breeding fee, chute fees or semen shipment fees. 
  1. The Breeding Manager  has the right to require any mare who is eligible for a re-breed to come to the breeding farm by February 15th of the next breeding season .   At the minimum, the Breeding  Manager requires and Mare Owner agrees that any mare that is to be re-bred must have a clean/negative culture faxed to the Breeding Manager  prior to the start of breeding season; be under lights by November 1st prior to the next normal breeding season and be ready to be bred prior to the end of February of the next normal breeding season.
  2. Paint Color Guarantee is for the following breeding season only and only with payment of a Paint Chute Fee to be equal to exactly one-half of the total breeding fee.  All other rebreed guarantees as stated in paragraph 4, 5, 6 and 9.
  3. Should more than one embryo or foal result from a breeding, Mare Owner must pay an additional Total Breeding fee for each additional embryo within ninety (90) days of the last breeding in order to receive a breeding certificate for additional foals.  
  4. The parties further agree that should the Stallion die, be sold or become unfit for service for any reason, then this contract shall become null and void (including the live foal guarantee) and both parties are relieved of any further obligation hereunder except that Mare Owner shall pay for all other expenses actually incurred including the payment of the breeding fee and all shipped semen fees.  The Live Foal Guarantee in this contract is non-transferable and non-assignable and should Mare be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to the birth of the foal, the live foal guarantee shall be void.  In the event the Breeding Manager agrees to the transfer or assignment of the "live foal guarantee" rights under the terms of this contract, then the new owner agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions hereof, insofar as the same may then be applicable. No refunds will be given at anytime for any fees including but not limited to the stallion breeding fee, chute fee or semen shipment fees.
  5. A Breeder’s Certificate will be issued to the mare owner only after all expenses have been paid in full and upon notification of the birth of the foal.   Only one Breeder’s Certificate will be issued for each Total Breeding Fee paid.  Embryo Transfers that result in two or more embryos and two or more foals born must have a separate Total Breeding Fees paid per live foal.

The parties acknowledge that this agreement is made and performed within the County of Grayson, State of Texas.   However, both parties agree should any dispute or claims arise regarding this contract, its will have its venue in Cooke County, Texas and shall be construed and enforced under the laws of the State of Texas.
