The breeding season will be running from February 1 to July 31.

Live Cover Stipulations:

All mares to be live covered are required to undergo examination for genital tract infection and a statement of negative cervical culture, EVA and Coggins test is to be furnished to Gestuet Falkenhorst before mare is bred. In the event that a mare has failed to become pregnant after being bred on two heat periods a statement of negative culture will be required before being bred again.

The mare owner agrees the above mare is free of all infections and physically fit for breeding purposes and such mare is not vicious or unmanageable. Gestuet Falkenhorst may decline to breed any mare for such reasons.

The mare owner hereby authorizes Gestuet Falkenhorst to determine whether an emergency situation exists and authorises the Gestuet Falkenhorst to call for the Veterinary at mare owners expense.

In the event the mare does not get in foal during the recent breeding season, this shall entitle the mare for a free return in the following breeding season. To be able to grant this free return, we require a Veterinary statement to be sent to us until September 30^th latest. If this statement is not sent to us in due time as before mentioned, the free return is null and void. The statement must confirm that the mare is not in foal as per September 30^th and must be signed by the Veterinary. This free return cannot be assigned or transferred by the mare’s owner. In the event said mare is sold or changes ownership the free return is null and void.
