For the stallions Belissimo and Bon Vivaldi there is no stud fee splitting.

 

Advance payment discount only valid if payment is received before first semen shipment, otherwise the full stud fee is due.

The first part of the stud fee for fresh semen orders is valid for the entire duration of the breeding season and must be paid by the breeder in any case. It covers all administrative costs. There is no entitlement to credits or discounts for the first stud fee. The first part of the stud fee is due with the first insemination of the mare. 

 

The second part of the stud fee is due when the mare is pregnant. Proof of non-pregnancy must be provided by the breeder with a veterinary certificate by October 1, without being asked. If the veterinary certificate is not available on October 1, the second stud fee is automatically due.

 

Not included in the stud fee are costs for EU certificate, shipping and pension costs.

 

In the case of embryo transfer, the full stud fee is payable for each embryo grown. If an embryo transfer is planned, please inform us.

Boxes are available for the placement of mares. The daily rate for mares and mares with foals is 15,-€. The placement is at the risk of the owner. The stallion owner is only liable for damages caused by him or a vicarious agent intentionally or through gross negligence.
