harmless if mare fails to settle for any reason. |

The live foal guarantee is generally non-transferable to another mare
unless specified in this contract or an amendment. |

LOSS OF MARE OR STALLION: It is further agreed that should the

named mare dies, then the Mare Owner
may substitute another mare or breed the above named mare to another
stallion owned or managed by Cedar Ridge Quarter Horses that is agreed
to by both the Mare Owner and the Breeder. If the stallion fees are more
than $100 different, the mare owner will pay the difference for a
higher-priced stallion if he/she chooses such a stallion. If the mare
owner chooses a cheaper stallion, the price of the lesser stallion will
be used to calculate the total bill. |
10. |
BREEDER'S CERTIFICATE: A breeder’s certificate will be issued to
Mare Owner after all expenses have been paid in full and upon
notification of the birth of the foal, and possibly before. |
11. |

stallion owner of any state permit requirements (for example, EVA test
results) by the mare owner resident state in a suitable period prior to
the anticipated shipment date, allowing the stallion owner sufficient
time to obtain those permits. |

PLEASE NOTE –
Under Iowa Law (and almost all states' laws),
a domesticated animal professional is not liable for damages suffered by, an
injury to, or the death of a participant resulting from the inherent risks of
domesticated animal activities, pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 673. You are
assuming the inherent risks of participating in this domesticated animal
activity when you interact with, buy or ride any horse in/from the state of Iowa.
|
13. |
This
contract is governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. All accounts are
due and payable in Taylor County, Iowa.
This contract is not
valid unless completed in full, signed, and may not be altered or amended, except
by written mutual consent of the parties herein or by filling in the
blanks as requested on this form.
|
Fees Worksheet
|
The above
contract is intended to be used as a guideline to assist both parties in a
successful breeding.
While some things are beyond our control, both sides should attempt to have
a cooperative, successful, safe, and healthy breeding.
|
|
It is
imperative that you have confidence, after experiences or research, in your
veterinarian's success rates with shipped semen. Using a vet that is not
knowledgeable in estimating the mare's heat cycle/ovulation date greatly
reduces your chances of a conception...and will cost you extra money in vet
fees and successive shipments of semen.
|
|
The front
face of Berry Sweet Whizard's top teeth are about 1/8th of an inch in front
of the bottom teeth's front face. We have heard this is something that
occurs from time to time with horses having one of his bloodlines. Because
that bloodline excels in reining, this minor defect does not concern many
breeders, but it does concern others.
|
|
If we
feel uncomfortable with decisions made by the inseminating vet, we will
communicate those with you. If after three shipments you mare is not
pregnant, we may require that you move your mare to a more experienced
veterinarian or reproductive center before shipping additional semen.
|
|
Keep in
mind that there is no magic "percentage of motility." A stallion with 10%
motility might settle more mares than a stallion with 80% motility. The total NUMBER of progressively motile sperm matters
more, not the
percentage. This is why we send the maximum amount of extended semen that
the shipping container will hold, unless we had to keep semen for use on the
farm. We will give you as much as we can!
|
|
Cedar
Ridge Quarter Horses/Toni Perdew will not be responsible for any vet or
other bills incurred by the mare owner/agent as a result of or preparation
for breeding or due to this agreement in any way.
