notification is a written certification by licensed veterinarian within seven
days that the mare has slipped or produced a non-viable foal. Mare

omission of the Owner. Rhino vaccinations must be administered as
indicated by the individual drug manufacturer as the mare progresses through her
pregnancy. Failure to do this will void the Life Foal
Guarantee. 8. Rebreeds: If the mare does not produce a live
foal the first breeding season bred, mare owner is entitled to a rebreed the

Thereafter, mare owner will be subject to an additional chute fee, plus
any increases in the breeding fee. No live foal guarantees on the
third year. 9. Genetic Diseases: The Breeder shall be held

to the Breeder before Mare Owner is entitled to a rebreed.) This also applies to

notification of birth of foal. 11. There is no Paint Color
