Breeding Arrangements: 

• Every effort will be made to accommodate Mare Owner/Agent’s breeding time frame. However, it is the Mare Owner/ Agent’s responsibility to ensure that BOVPS has up to date information at all times throughout the process. In doing so, you are facilitating the insemination process. Failure to adhere to these arrangements may result in missed heats and delayed shipments (where applicable) at the Mare Owner/Agent’s expense. A veterinarian knowledgeable in successful insemination techniques must oversee off site inseminations in order to maximize the potential of a timely pregnancy. Mare Owner is responsible for obtaining proper care and maintenance of their mare under the direction of a qualified licensed Veterinarian with Equine Reproduction expertise with the shared goal of producing a live, healthy foal. 

Mare Owner is responsible for completing and sending to AQHA or any other applicable breed organization any paper work they require related to use of transported semen. Mare owner is responsible for blood typing or DNA testing their mare as per AQHA rule 209 or APHA rule RG-165. Embryo enrollment forms for the mare are the responsibility of the mare owner/agent. Failure to notify BOVPS of your mare’s pregnancy by August 15th for cooled semen could result in her being left off the stallion breeding report. Fees for filing late or amended report would have to be paid prior to the correction being made with the appropriate association and breeder’s certificate issued. 

•    Mare Owner/Agent must give a minimum of 24 hours advance notice of possible semen shipment to Cappy at BOVPS and confirm shipment by 8:00AM EST of collection day, prior to shipment. Orders of semen must be done by CALLING CAPPY 859-3962159. CANCELLATIONS MUST BE MADE BY 8:00AM EST the day of collection, after that a cancellation fee will be added. 


•    If a mare dies, or is deemed unfit to breed, during the breeding season (a veterinarian report will be required as verification) a substitute mare, owned by the same Owner and approved by the BOVPS, may be bred without any additional breeding fee. Substitutions and/or switching of mares owned by the same owner for any other reason (after a booking has been accepted and booking fee paid) will be subject to a $200 transfer fee. Transfers of fully paid breeding contracts, to an owner other than the person stated on the contract, will be subject to a $200 transfer fee. 


•    Confirmation of pregnancy by ultrasound starting at 14 days post ovulation continuing through to the 45th day of pregnancy is REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN THE LIVE FOAL GUARANTEE. If ultrasound is unavailable, Mare Owner/ Agent agrees to have the mare checked for pregnancy by licensed veterinarian within 30 days of insemination. Mare Owner/Agent agrees to provide the results of the ultrasound(s)/pregnancy exam(s) to BOVPS no later than 30 days following insemination. 


•    LIVE FOAL GUARANTEE/REBREED PRIVILEGES shall apply ONLY TO THE NEXT NORMAL BREEDING SEASON. If the mare miscarries, aborts the foal, or the foal does not qualify as a “live foal” and BOVPS is provided with a veterinarian’s statement confirming such conditions, mare owner will be qualified for a Live Foal Guarantee/Rebreed Privileges the following breeding season. To obtain a breeding the following season using this policy, mare owner must pay a $500.00 rebreed fee. A live foal is defined as a newborn foal that stands and nurses without assistance. If in the foaling year the mare designated in this contract dies or is unfit to breed and BOVPS is provided with a veterinarian statement confirming these conditions, a substitute mare may be designated, with BOVPS written approval, at no additional cost. In all other cases, if an approved substitute mare is used there will be a $200.00 substitution fee. Rebreed/Live Foal Guarantee privileges shall only apply is BOVPS is notified within seven (7) days of rebreed/live foal guarantee event. If the mare does not return to a veterinarian the following breeding season for rebreed/live foal guarantee privileges the following breeding season, and other arrangements have not been made with BOVPS, all fees paid shall be forfeited, the right to a rebreed and live foal guarantee will be cancelled, and BOVPS is released from all further obligations under this contract.
