 Breeding and Booking Fees: The breeding (stud) fee for the 2008 season is $1000, which includes a $350 non-refundable booking fee. Personal checks will be accepted. Payments are due as follows:  Booking Fee of $350 is due to stallion owner by check with signed contract prior to shipment.  The balance of $650 is due by check when the mare is determined to be safely in foal at 90 days post insemination.

Insurance: Neither the stallion owner, Blue Chip Farm Inc. nor Pine Bush Equine responsible for misdirected, damaged or lost semen shipments. It is recommended that the mare owner insure the shipment for the loss which will be incurred (veterinary fees etc) should a shipment not arrive as expected.

90 Day Confirming Pregnancy Check: When an early pregnancy check indicates a pregnancy, the mare owner agrees to have the mare rechecked for pregnancy at approximately 90 days post insemination. If the mare is determined to still be in foal at this pregnancy check, the balance of the stud fee is then due, and is at that point non-refundable. The mare owner’s post-dated check will be deposited. If the mare owner decides not to have the pregnancy confirmed at 90 days, the mare will be assumed pregnant, and the stud fee is then due, and is at that point non-refundable.

Non-Conceiving Mares: Should the mare not conceive during the 2008 breeding season or conceives and then loses the pregnancy before the 90 day check, the mare owner is not obligated to pay the stud fee. The booking fee remains non- refundable. Since the stud fee is not paid until the mare conceives, this contract does not roll over to 2009. The mare owner may choose to breed back during the 2009 breeding season under a new contract, if the stallion is available, but is not obligated to do so. If the mare owner chooses to breed back during the 2009 breeding season, he/she will be obligated to pay a new booking fee and submit a new 2009 contract.

Live Foal Protection: Once the mare is declared to be in foal at the 90 day confirming pregnancy check and the stud fee paid, the stallion owner gives the following protection: Should the mare abort or not produce a live foal, the stallion owner will supply up to three semen shipments during the 2009 breeding season for that mare at no cost to the mare owner except for collection, shipping and container fees. Written certification by a licensed veterinarian that the mare aborted or did not produce a live foal may be requested. Should the stallion be sold, deceased, gelded or physically incapable of breeding, the above protection clause is void.

Mare Substitution: If the mare is determined unfit for breeding during the 2008 breeding season, another mare owned or leased by the mare owner may be substituted during the 2008 breeding season. Statesman’s Signature Stallion Service Contract Page 4 of 4
