2011 Breeding Contract
Live Foal Guaruntee |
Foxtail Farm sells each breeding to one of our stallions or mares with a Live Foal Guaruntee intact. This means, if your breeding does not result in a live foal, you are entitled to either a refund or rebreeding to the same stallion or mare. A Live Foal is defined as standing and suckling and is only intact through the first 24 hours after birth.
|
Approved Mares Clause |
Foxtail Farm reserves the right to mark any stallion with an "Approved Mare Only" stipulation at any time in order to preserve sire merit and/or breed purity.
|
Buyback Rights |
As the breeder, Foxtail Farm reserves buyback rights on any foal holding direct first-generation links to any mare or stallion owned by Foxtail Farm at the time of the offspring's conception. This stipulates only that if the owner wishes at any time to sell a foal sired by or out of a horse owned by Foxtail Farm at the time of conception, they must offer it back to Foxtail Farm as the original breeder, before placing said offspring for sale publicly or privately. If Foxail Farm declines to repurchase the horse, the owner may then offer the horse for sale elsewhere but the breeder's buyback rights remain intact for the duration of that horse's lifetime unless Foxtail Farm chooses to retract those rights.
|
Notification Rights |
Foxtail Farm reserves the right to be notified of the retirement or death of any offspring holding direct first-generation links to any mare or stallion owned by Foxtail Farm at the time of the offspring's conception. If the owner wishes to sells a Foxtail Farm offspring and Foxtail Farm declines to repurchase the horse, the new owner must notify the farm of the horse's wherabouts and provide a new link after the sale is completed for our record keeping purposes.
|
No Reclaim Rights Policy |
Foxtail Farm makes it a policy to at no time to envoke any reclaim rights upon a foal bred from a Foxtail Farm mare and/or stallion. We feel it is unfair, particularly in the usual instance of our horse only being used as a momentary sperm donor for the client's own mare, for our farm to claim any such rights over offspring or sperm to provide such which has been paid for in full and therein has become the client's own property. This policy protects all past, present, and future clients from any litigation resulting in the siezure of animals which resulted from the genetic material of horses owned by this establishment and have been properly paid for and legally surrendered.

Foxtail Farm reserves the right to alter this contract at any time without notice, however such changes shall not be retroactive.
