MARE must be vaccinated for Rhinopneumonitis at 5th, 7th, and 9th month of gestation. Failure to do so may result in the loss of said pregnancy and voids all live foal guarantees. It is agreed that this provision will be of no further effect if the MARE is taken to any other stallion before returning to the above-named STALLION unless RTPH and mare owner make an agreement in writing that RTPH will hold over your contract for another year. The live-foal guarantee is valid, ONLY if MARE OWNER has properly maintained the health of the MARE, and verifies the MARE’S pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or newborn foal’s death by providing RTPH with an original, signed and dated veterinary certificate, on the veterinarian’s own practice stationary.
