Breeding Contract
This contract entered into on the date of acceptance, by and between the listed mare
owner or authorized lessee, and the stallion breeding manager, who do mutually agree to
the following terms and conditions:
Section 1. The Agreement. The mare owner agrees to breed the designated mare to
the servicing stallion by the chosen breeding method during the listed breeding season for
a breeding fee of $650. Breeding season begins on February 1st and ends July 1st. All
mares to be bred must be sound to breed, halter broken and have a current negative
Coggins test and health certificate. A copy of the mare's registration papers should
accompany this contract. The mare owner agrees to pay all veterinary fees and board if
the mare is bred at the farm.
Section 2. Guarantees. Should the stallion be sold, die or otherwise become unfit for
service, the stallion manager's liability shall be discharged fully, and the current owner or
new owner will be obligated to honor the terms of this contract. If the mare is not in
foal, aborts the foal, or if the foal dies within 24 hours of being born, the stallion
manager(s) and owner(s) are held harmless from all liability, and the mare owner is
entitled to a complementary rebreed the following year. Any applicable mare care,
veterinary fees or shipping fees will be charged.
Section 3. Insurance. "WARNING: Under Colorado law, an equine professional is
not liable for an injury to, or the death of, a participant in equine activities resulting from
the inherent risks of equine activities." The mare owner agrees to look solely to his
insurance for compensation for any injury, sickness, death or loss of any kind.
Section 4. Invoices and Payment. All fees must be paid in full before the mare is
released from the farm. All invoices are due and payable within fifteen days of receipt, to
avoid an 18% per annum late fee. Payment past due thirty days, will be considered a
default, and the stallion manager is entitled to exercise all legal remedies available to
collect the amount due at the mare owner's expense.
Section 5. Contract Acceptance. The mare owner's signature on this contract attests
to the fact that the owner has read and understood all of the terms outlined herein and
accepts this contract as a legal and binding instrument on behalf of the owner, owner's
heirs, successors and assigns. This contract constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties. No other agreements, whether verbal or implied, are included. This contract is
made and entered into, in the County Boulder regardless of the manner or location of
solicitation, and shall be interpreted, enforced and transacted within said county, under
the laws of the State of Colorado.
