Our covering conditions

A breeder who has a mare covered accepts the following terms and conditions:
1. The covering conditions of the respective breeding associations apply in general. The covering season starts on February 1st and ends on August 15th.
2. Ordering of semen:
We request your order by phone. To have semen delivered on the next day, please call Monday to Friday by 10 am and on Saturdays by 9:30 am.
We can only process your order if it includes: Requested stallion, name and complete address of the mare‘s owner, the breeding association to be notified, shipping address, name and address of the administering veterinarian, particulars of the mare: Name and life number, pedigree, age, color and markings. Before the first insemination the breeder has to disclose if he intends to conduct an embryo transfer.
Please note that the stud fee has to be paid for every flushed embryo.
3. The breeding certificates (Deckscheine) have to be submitted to the owner of the stallion at the beginning of the covering season.
Without the breeding certificates, the covering can not be registered with the breeding associations. An additional service fee is charged if the breeding certificate is provided after the August 1st.
The stud fee has to be paid in advance of shipping.
If the requested stallion is taking part in a tournament, deep frozen semen will be used. Please phone in for the special conditions for deep frozen sperm.
Stallions, especially young stallions, who are covering for the first time, will be registered in the stallion book 1 (Hengstbuch I) after they have completed and passed their stallion performance test. Only afterwards the foals can be fully registered. If a stallion does not achieve the registration in the stallion book 1 (Hengstbuch I), the breeding association can only issue a certificate of birth. The breeder bears the full risk.
Please make an early reservation if the requested stallion is highly in demand.
