2016 breeding season will open Feb 1st and close June 30th. Mare owner must return a signed breeding
contract and provide a copy of registration papers along with booking fee. A cooled semen shipping
container will be provided which requires no container deposit or return shipping. Collection days are
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Please call 405-826-5988 as early as possible when needing semen
but by 9am of the collection day, or semen may or may not be available.
Kirt and Carol Keith’s, sole obligation under this breeding contract is to use reasonable efforts to ship
sufficient semen for one breeding. The parties further acknowledge the shipment and use of cooled
semen is subject to a number of conditions beyond the control of the parties, so the cooled semen may
or may not be received when the mare is ready to breed. In the event that the number of mares
needing bred on a given breeding day exceeds the stallions semen capabilities, semen will not be
shipped. Accordingly the mare owner acknowledges that the semen may or may not be shipped in
compliance with the shipment requests, and may or may not be received by the mare owner in the time
period or condition necessary to successfully breed the mare. The mare owner hereby disclaims and
releases Kirt and/or Carol Keith from any and all liability, damages, claims, cause of action or losses with
respect to the breeding of the mare and the shipment or collection of semen.
The mare owner will be responsible for all facets of breeding the mare, including without limitation,
preparing the mare for breeding, preparing its semen for breeding, and conducting the breeding and
post breeding care. The mare owner agrees that the mare owner will utilize a licensed veterinarian with
the expertise in cooled semen to perform the insemination of the mare. The mare owner agrees to use
the semen shipped hereunder solely to breed the designated mare in accordance with this breeding
contract together with the rules and regulations of the appropriate registration organization.
It is further agreed that should the stallion die or become unfit for service, or if any mare should die or
become unfit to breed, then this contract shall be automatically rescinded by its own terms, and any
money paid for the stallion service fee, except the booking fee, shall be returned to the mare owner.
In the event the mare proves not in foal or does not produce a single live foal that can stand alone and
nurse, the mare shall have a return breeding privilege with no further stallion service fee charge for the
next breeding season, if the mare owners furnishes a veterinary certificate within 7 days of the date the
mare determined not in foal or fails to produce a single live foal. Another mare may be substituted
upon approval by Kirt or Carol Keith. Veterinary services, board, or other related expenses will charged
on the return breeding. If the mare owner fails to provide such certificate, or fails to deliver the mare
for breeding the next year breeding season, the return breeding is cancelled, and no refund shall be due
to the mare owner for any reason. In the event the mare is sold, transferred to a sale facility,
transported out of the United States, changes ownership, or is returned to racing, the stallion service fee
becomes non-refundable and the live foal guarantee is voided.
No warranty or guarantee express or implied, is given with respect to the cooled semen because the use
of cooled semen is a new and changing technology. There is no guarantee of delivery within a certain
time period, and no guarantee that the cooled semen will safely reach the insemination point without
losing integrity, quality or characteristics, if given.
If either party hereto defaults in the performance of any provision of this contract, the other party may,
at his/her discretion, declare this contract terminated. The party which defaults in the performance of
any duties under this contract shall be responsible to the other party for reasonable attorney fees and
courts costs incurred in enforcing the provisions of this contract.
