I, ____________________________ hereby confirm my reservation to the stallion
_______________________________ for the _____________ season to breed the mare named
___________________________________. Stud fee for breeding above named mare to this stallion is
$__________________________ Includes a booking fee of $350 which is non-refundable.
If the mare needs to be re-bred to following season for any reason, a new, non-refundable booking fee of
$350 must be paid and received before shipment each season requested.
The Booking fee is deducted from the total amount of the stud fee, is non-refundable and must be paid in full with the ratification of this contract.
The Stud fee for breeding must be paid in full for the mare being bred via Transported Semen & Live
Cover before first shipment or cover is made.
A uterine culture is required if you have: An older mare that was bred before, a mare that had a difficult birth/retained placenta, aborted last pregnancy or if you have any other reasons to be suspicious of her uterine health. I expect you to follow your veterinarian’s recommendation.
I understand that my mare must be examined by a licensed veterinarian between 40 and 50 days after the last day bred and Joint Venture Farm notified of her pregnancy status at the time or all live foal guarantees are null and void. A breeding certificate will be issued after the conclusion of this breeding season.
In the event of the inability to produce viable fresh semen from the stallion contracted for this service
Joint Venture Farm will substitute frozen semen.
In the event of death or the inability to produce frozen semen from the stallion contracted for this service
Joint Venture Farm will refund stud fee.

This contract guarantees return privileges for the same mare during the course of Joint Venture breeding season. The mare owner is guaranteed return breeding privileges for one breeding season following the initial breeding season. A second mare may be substituted with permission of stallion owner and a fee of
$300. This contract is not transferable without written permission of stallion owner. Should the mare not produce a live foal that stands and sucks, the mare owner shall be entitled to above mentioned return privileges. This guarantee shall only apply if the stallion owner is notified within one week of the foal’s death. A statement of details by a licensed veterinarian must follow within 10 days of the guarantee becomes null and void. This clause is also binding in the case of abortion. If a mare reabsorbs her pregnancy, Joint Venture needs written verification of this fact from a veterinarian.
I understand that the mare owner shall assume all responsibility for the condition of the mare and bare all risk of loss or damage to the mare whether by death, disease, injury, infection or otherwise, and by any cause whatsoever, and therefore agrees to hold the stallion owner, keeper or agent harmless for any and all damages associated therewith. Any disputes of a legal matter must be settled in Madison, Madison
County, Florida.
Fees, collection and shipping procedures:
Collection fee $250.
FedEx/UPS and Airline at cost.
Courier to Airport $100.
Container deposit required $250.
Emergency Collection fee $100, if applicable.
Joint Venture Farm will choose the veterinarian to do the stallion service collection. We ask that you provide the veterinarian with a valid credit card so that they may charge your account for the collection and shipping charges the same day the semen is shipped. If you are uncomfortable with this you can send in a deposit of $300 prior to ordering semen. The unused balance will be returned to the mare owner after the breeding season. If collection and shipping costs exceed the deposit, a further deposit will be required before more semen will be shipped.
Mare owner understands that requests for semen must be made 24 hours via telephone the day preceding the requested shipment. Shipments requested the same day will be accommodated if possible but sometimes the semen has already been shipped for the day. Please inform your vet of this time deadline so he/she can schedule examinations accordingly. You must Contact Ruthanne Gardner (850) 929-4991
House, (229) 403-6755 Cell.
