Stud Regulations

Stud Regulations 2012

I. General  

With your semen order you accept our breeding regulations/insemination contract. With delivery of your mare, you also accept our stud and liability regulations. Details can be found in the mares’ stable. 
When covering your mare for the first time, you must provide a copy of the pedigree certificate and/or breeding permit form of your association at the time of breeding: 

The breeding season starts on 1 February and ends on 1 September. Studs can be presented to interested breeders outside the official stallion presentations, please phone in advance to make an appointment. 
Boxes with regular paddock access are provided for our visiting mares booked for insemination. 
Daily rates
Mares without foal                € 15

Mares with foal at foot          € 20

II. Shipment of Semen

 In order to ensure optimal deliveries, please note the following: 

1. Semen orders for the following day can be placed from Monday to Friday until 10.30 am, on Saturday until 9 am. Please order by phone only. Our number: +49 (0) 8561/1400.  

PLEASE NOTE:

No shipping on Sundays and public holidays. Nevertheless, collection in person is possible on these days. Your delivery will be ready for you from 1 pm. 
2. We usually ship a maximum of 3 doses of fresh semen per heat and provide you with semen for 3 heat cycles. This excludes special offers/promotions and frozen semen. 
3. After the first heat, additional shipments are only made after any outstanding stud fees have been paid and received.  
4. Postage costs vary according to destination, time and type of shipment. Please call our office for more information.  For deliveries of frozen semen using one of our freezer boxes we charge € 80 rental fee.  
5. Please return the transport and freezer containers within 8 days (postage paid by holder of the mare). In case of freezer boxes, we reserve the right to organise their return at your expense after 8 days.
6. With every delivery you receive two copies of the semen documentation form for each dose. This should be checked by you, signed by your vet and one copy per semen dose returned to us within one week (email or fax is fine).
7. The number of semen vials can vary according to stallion. However, every dose always contains at least that number of sperm cells necessary for insemination.
8. The broodmare holder must return the last semen documentation form prior to 15 September. On the form, the vet must confirm gestation or non-gestation. If the breeder fails to provide the required notification, the additional gestation fee becomes due and will be invoiced.
9. To change the breeding permit to a new breeder we require a written declaration by both the old and the new breeder and charge € 10 for the amendment. The stud fee remains the obligation of the broodmare holder/breeder placing the order.
