    NEGATIVE Coggins paper and a Health Certificate completed within the 30 days of the last day the

    spreading diseases.

vaccinated for the following within 3 months of prior to it’s arrival at the Double A Ranch.

  • The owner of the mare is also to have two bags of feed that is to be given to their mare specifically to
    avoid any type of feeding health problems and to insure the horse’s health. The feed will be given to
    the mare serviced ONLY and to no other horses on the property of the Double A Ranch.

  • Due to recent hay crises, the owner of the mare will need to supply 3-4 bales of hay for your horse.
    Any remaining hay will be returned to the mare owner upon pick up.

  • At the time agreed for the mare to be picked up after her service, if any remaining feed is available, it
    will be returned to the mare owner. The full amount of the breeding fee given above is to be paid in
    full at the time of picking up the mare. If the fee is not paid in full, the horse will remain on the
    property of the Double A Ranch until full payment is made. If payment is not made within two
    months after the mare is serviced, the Double A Ranch assumes all rights and ownership to the mare
    and foal she is carrying. At the time of picking up the mare, a copy of the mare’s registration paper is
    required to insure a Stallion Breeding Report for the foal to insure registration.

  • Permanent Address information is needed so that the owner of the stallion listed above, Amy Mizell,
    can to mail the proper foal registration papers to the foal owner after the stallion breeding report has
    been completed by APHA.

  • To insure the horse’s health at time of service, the listed mare to be serviced will come in no contact
    with other horses except for the stallion who is chosen to service her.                 


Live Foal Guarantee:                

  • If the mare serviced is found not to have a positive pregnancy from the listed stallion who serviced
    her, the owner of the mare is given the right to bring their mare back to be serviced to insure
    pregnancy. The owner of the mare has up to 3 times to have their mare bred. If by the third attempt
    of breeding, the owner of the stallion is not required to do another breeding. After the third attempt,
    the stallion and stallion owner have fulfilled their breeding agreement. At this time, if the mare is
    not found to be pregnant, we strongly suggest that the mare owner have her checked for fertility.
    When the mare has her foal the following year, the Double A Ranch only insures a foal as born Live.
    After the foal has lived a full 24 hours, the Double A Ranch has completed its guarantee. A live
    healthy foal is described as a newborn foal which stands and nurses without assistance. If foal is born
    dead or handicapped, the mare owner must notify the breeder within 30 days of the birth and provide
    a veterinarian’s statement confirming death or handicap.  

  • If mare is found not have a positive pregnancy after the second breeding attempt, the owner of the
    mare is required to have her checked for health reasons. Owner of the stallion is not required to
    repeat another breeding past a second breeding attempt. If the stallion has provided two breeding
    weeks and no positive pregnancy results, the owner of the stallion is required to only refund one half
    of the breeding fee. All other fees are non-refundable. We strongly suggest having the owner of the
    mare have her mare checked prior to the first breeding attempt for breeding soundness.

  • All first time mares are to be palpated and checked by a veterinarian prior to breeding for the first
    time.   
                
Note:

  • This contract only applies to mares which are breeding sound. We strongly suggest that you have your
    mare checked for soundness prior to having the mare bred by the stallion. If the mare is not found by
    a licensed veterinarian to be breeding sound, the stallion owner is not obligated to produce a live foal
    and the contract is null and void. The stallion owner cannot guarantee a live foal out of a mare which
    is incapable of producing a foal.

  • Live Foal and Live Color Foal guarantee is Null and Void if the mare listed dies during the
    pregnancy or during the delivery.

  • It is the mare owner’s responsibility to give the mare the proper health requirements such as her
    Equine Rhino-pneumonitis shots to be given on 5, 7, and 9 months of pregnancy to avoid her
    aborting the foal. If the mare loses a foal due to the owner not giving the proper medications, the
    Double A Ranch is not required to insure another breeding. If foal is aborted during the pregnancy
    and all necessary precautions and medications have been given, the Double A Ranch requires a
    veterinarians note guaranteeing that the proper health vaccinations were given before another
    breeding is to be done.

  • It is highly recommended that the owner of the mare have the mare checked for a positive pregnancy
    within 17 to 45 days after the last day of breeding service.        

  • This contract is non-assignable and non-transferable. In the event that the mare is sold or otherwise
    disposed of prior to the birth of the foal, the live healthy foal guarantee will no longer be valid. If the
    owner of the mare sells the mare during the pregnancy, all breeding guarantees are hereby null and
    void.

Breeder’s Certificate:

  • An authentic American Paint Horse Association breeding report will be issued for the foal conceived
    by this mating when the stallion fees and all other expenses have been paid in full and when the mare
    has produced a live healthy foal by this mating for registration purposes. This applies only to APHA
    Registered Paint mares, AQHA Registered Quarter Horse mares or Appendix mares, and Jockey Club
    Registered Thoroughbred mares. For mares of other breeds, the owner is to provide the registration
    application to the owner of the stallion for signatures and the information needed to insure their foal’
    s registration.
