return service. A veterinary certificate of barrenness must be sent to the Studfarm within 10 days of

eligible for a return service. A veterinary certificate must be provided to the Studfarm within 10 days
of the foal’s death. It must also state that the mare was properly cared for during gestation and was
attended at foaling. Failure to provide the certificate within the given period will make return of
service policy null and void.
