Free Rein Farms agrees to:

1.  Service the mare, up to three times to settle her for the $500.00 breeding fee.  Additional container and shipping charges, which will apply for each shipment and must be paid for by customer before semen shipment.
Or
2.  Service a substitute mare at no additional fee other than container and shipping fees if the mare in this contract dies or is deemed unfit for breeding by a licensed veterinarian.

We will not send a shipment of semen from the farm unless it is "deemed fit" to breed a mare. 
We retain a sample from each collection and examine it at the same time you should be getting your shipment.  If we find the semen sample here "unfit" the next day we will ship again for free.
Collecting Tioga in the heat of the summer is very stressful and we check his semen carefully to ensure it's good on this end of the shipment.  What happens in transit or on your end is not our responsibility.

Ordering Semen at the right time is critical....DO NOT Call on a Monday and tell us that you need a shipment for "probably Friday".  Your vet should know EXACTLY when to order semen.

Warming semen on a stage warmer is critical as well.  Do not mishandle the semen as it lessens your chances of a successful breeding. 

If after the first shipment your mare does not settle a culture of the mare will be required to ship the second shipment.

Once your mare is bred we STRONGLY Recommend that you take her home and let her rest, do not exert her until she has been check by your veterinarian at 16 days for an embryo and your vet clears her for normal activities.  This will lessen the chances of her absorbing the embryo and settling like she should.

Free Rein Farms collects and ships on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays ONLY.   You must order by NOON, Central Standard Time on those days.  We ship Federal Express Only.

Breeding certificate (Stallion Service MFTHBA Certificate) issued by Free Rein Farms ONLY after foal is born and color photo of foal sucking mare is received at Free Rein Farms.
