Breeding contracts

Breeding deals, on paper — enforceable.

Hoofine breeding contracts are negotiated, signed and enforced on the platform. Stud fees sit in escrow until the trigger is met — live foal, ICSI transfer, frozen semen delivery.

Contract templates

Live foal guarantee

Stud fee held in escrow until a vet confirms a live, standing, suckling foal. Automatic re-breed or refund if the mare doesn't settle or the foal is lost within the agreed window.

ICSI booking

Oocyte aspiration, fertilisation, embryo transfer and cryopreservation rights, all spelled out. Split payments across aspiration, transfer and foal-on-ground milestones.

Frozen semen shipment

Dose count, collection date, motility guarantees, carrier and insurance. Refund terms for non-arrival, tank failures or sub-spec motility.

Shuttle stallion season

Northern and southern hemisphere seasons with syndicate-aware clauses, nomination caps and cross-border health testing.

What every contract covers

Stud fee, taxes and shipping

Itemised fee with VAT/sales tax breakdown and shipping responsibilities by jurisdiction.

Mare and stallion warranties

Both parties warrant soundness for breeding, plus negative EVA, CEM and EIA where it applies.

Re-breed and refund triggers

Clear, dated triggers: no pregnancy by scan date, early pregnancy loss, non-viable foal at 24 hours, or loss of the stallion.

Data and registration

Rights to foal DNA typing, microchip registration and stud-book entry, including who pays the fees.

    Both parties e-sign with identity verification. A stamped PDF lands in each account, ready to export.

  3. 03 · Escrow

    The stud fee moves into escrow on signing. Payment milestones run on vet-confirmed events.

  4. 04 · Release

    Live foal confirmed? Funds release to the stud. Trigger missed? Automatic refund or re-breed under the contract.
