Breeding Question

[paisjpq]

there's a bunch of different ways that contracts can be written and it usually depends on the demand for the stallion and/or his age/fertility....standard contracts usually ask for a portion up front, and the balance some time in the fall (october or november)....but if the foal doesn't survive you either don't pay or get a return season. There are also a bunch of different versions of what is considered live foal....some stipulate that it stands and nurses some that it lives 48 hours etc etc. But most stallion contracts can be negotiated on any or all of the terms....right down to getting to him for free
