Breeding Agreement
- Mare owner agrees that they will be purchasing cooled semen during the contract year, which shall be from November 1st – June 1st. Semen may be shipped outside of the breeding season by special request and agreed upon by both parties. It is understood and agreed that if for any reason the mare does not conceive; mare owner will hold Azpin Arabians harmless. Mare owner agrees that Azpin Arabians will not be responsible for any disease, accident, injury, sickness or death of mare or foal.
- Azpin Arabians recommends that mares receive a pre-breeding examination by a veterinarian, including an ultrasound and in some cases, a uterine culture or biopsy, to confirm breeding soundness. To eliminate preventable abortions due to Rhinopneumonitis, Azpin Arabians strongly recommends that the mare receive Rhinopneumonitis vaccinations during the fifth, seventh and ninth months of pregnancy. Azpin Arabians recommends a uterine culture and biopsy or may recommend that a substitute mare be used to fulfill the contract for a mare with poor fertility, who has not conceived after three cycles.
- All fees are paid in full prior to shipments and are non-refundable.
- Mare owner is responsible for all facets of the insemination process for mares being bred by use of transported semen. Azpin Arabians recommends that a licensed veterinarian, who is qualified and experienced in the use and handling of cooled semen, will perform the insemination. Mare owner agrees to use their best efforts to perform the insemination procedure within 24 hours and not longer than 48 hours after the collection from the stallion. Mare owner agrees to use all cooled semen provided by this Agreement for the Mare named in this Agreement and no other, however, if it is Mare owners desire to use the semen for another one of their mares, Azpin Arabians may agree to this change, provided that Mare owner signs a new breeding contract, providing the details of the new mare. One Transported Semen Certificate (needed to register the foal with AHA), will be issued by Azpin Arabians, per paid Stallion Service fee.
- Azpin Arabians shares the common goals with mare owners for easy conceptions resulting in healthy foals. Due to the many variables involved with the shipping and breeding process that are beyond our control once the semen leaves our facility, Azpin Arabians makes no warranty/guarantee, written or implied, with respect to the semen; that it will be delivered within a certain time period or that the semen will safely reach the insemination point without losing integrity or quality. Cooled semen arrives in syringes, which are ready for direct insemination. There is no shipping container deposit and no need to return the shipping container.
- In the event that the mare does not produce a live foal who can stand and nurse, the mare shall have return breeding privileges, with no further stallion service fee, through the following breeding season. Another mare may be substituted upon approval. If mare owner fails to place an order for semen during the following breeding season, the return breeding privilege is cancelled and no refund shall be due to the mare owner, unless both parties agree that semen will be provided at later date.
- Contracts are non-saleable and non-transferable. Fees associated with registration of foals are the mare owner’s responsibility. Mare owner agrees to allow the use of photos of foals by our stallions for marketing purposes.
