All stallion services must be paid by 10 days after the notification
of being the high bidder. NSF Fee of $100.00 will be charged
to the stallion service buyer if the check does not clear. The
buyer will have five business days to settle the account from
the time the buyer is notified of the nonpayment due to the bad
check.

have the option to buy a second service to their donated stallion
for the same price that the original donated service was purchased.

purchaser of the stallion service and the stallion owner. All
contracts, arrangements, and negotiations that may arise in the
service of any mare designated for the Limited Breeder's weanling
Stake will be strictly between the mare owner and stallion owner.
A refund, the amount
paid for the purchased stallion service, will be made if the
stallion dies before the designated mare has been bred.
