A booking will not be guaranteed without the payment of the booking fee, which is an included part of the
breeding fee.
STALLION FEE. The contract balance of $450 (Payable to Carousel Farm) will be due and payable, at the
time that the mare is checked in foal or leaves the farm, whichever occurs first (unless other arrangements have
been made, payment plans may be available). No refund of any part of the entire stud fee will be made once
the act of breeding of any kind has occurred. Always In The Mood will stand at “live cover” for 2013 breeding
season unless other arrangements are made.
PAYMENT. All accounts must be PAID IN FULL before a mare leaves the farm. Any account that is thirty
(30) days or more past due will be subject to a $25/month on all past invoices. Past due billing is defined as
amounts not paid within thirty (30) days. Additionally, the account may be placed for collection. No
registration papers will be issued on the resulting foal until all bills are paid in full. The Mare Owner is
responsible for all Veterinarian and Farrier expenses while the mare is maintained at Carousel Farm.
MARE RECORDS. A photocopy of registration papers (both sides) is required. If the mare is to be at our
facilities, a current Coggins and health certificate, (within 60 days) and worming /vaccination record will be
required. Mares that are not halter broken will not be accepted or mares that are deemed difficult to handle.
The mare shall be in a healthy and sound breeding condition, free from infectious, contagious and transmissible
diseases. The Stallion Owner reserves the right to refuse a mare if not in satisfactory condition or impose
additional mare care fees if mare is underweight. If mare is refused, the booking fee shall constitute liquidated

Please list the policy information under which your mare is currently covered for liability, enter the Insurance
