Addendum “A” ~ 2008 Terms & Conditions for Shipped Cooled Semen

This agreement, Addendum “A”, is part of the 2008 Breeding Contract, and is entered into on the date recorded
below by DeGraff Stables, Inc., known as “Agent for Stallion Owner” and hereinafter referred to as “Farm”, and the
“Mare Owner/Lessor” whose name or signature appears below and hereinafter referred to as “Mare Owner”. It is now
therefore agreed between the parties as follows:
All parties agree that they have executed a breeding contract to breed the Mare named:
___________________________________, Breed _____________________, Registration #
___________________________________ to HOT LOPIN SENSATION APHA #807,540. In addition to the rights
and duties placed upon all parties to the breeding contract, it is mutually agreed by all parties that good and sufficient
consideration exists to execute this Transported Cooled Semen Agreement for the breeding season mentioned below.
A) Farm shall ship semen collected from HOT LOPIN SENSATION in an appropriate chilled semen container by an
overnight courier, such as Federal Express, Airborne, UPS, etc. to the address of record provided in writing by the
Mare Owner on the day when the semen is collected. If semen is needed the same day via an airline, if available,
Mare Owner will be responsible for the additional fees incurred to counter to counter ship the semen. Stallion
Owner/Farm further certify that the semen, when collected, will be of such a degree of mobility and motility so as to
reasonably be acceptable for breeding.
B) The Mare Owner certifies that Farm is obligated to transport cooled semen to the address of record which has
been provided in writing (below) by the Mare Owner prior to any shipment. If the Mare Owner requests more than
one shipment, the semen will be shipped to the last known address of record provided by the Mare Owner to the
Farm unless otherwise specified in writing and confirmed by the Farm.
C) All parties agree that prior to first shipment of semen, all breeding fees, booking fees, chute fees and any other
balances must be paid in full prior to the first shipment of semen. Prepayment of shipping fees or a valid executed
credit card authorization form for shipping fees as they may apply are required prior to shipment. Every semen
shipment shall be at the cost of $250.00 for Fed-Ex Service, Customer Pick Up is $175.00, or $350.00 for Counter to
Counter (CTC) Service. The courier fee is included in the CTC fee provided 24 hour notice is provided. Additional
courier fees may be incurred if semen is ordered after 2pm the day PRIOR to semen collection day.
D) If an Equitainer is used; a deposit of $300 is required. Mare Owner may prepay with a fully refundable check or
money order, or, provide a valid credit card. The check will not be cashed nor with the credit card be charged unless
there is an unresolvable claim with the shipping company. The Equitainer must be returned to Farm, with shipping
charges prepaid, within twenty-four hours after insemination. If Equitainer is not received within three (3) working
days from shipment, Mare Owner will be assessed a $25/day rental fee. All costs/deposits must be paid in advance
of the shipment of semen. Mare owner may provide own Equitainer boldly marked with Owner’s name and address. It
must be clean and in good condition and must be received at Farm a minimum of 48 hours prior to shipment.
E) It is the Farm’s stated preference that all shipments be made to and inseminations performed at established
breeding farms. The Mare Owner certifies that the address of record for shipment is a suitable facility for the artificial
insemination of the Mare contracted to be bred. It is imperative that Mare Owner’s veterinarian be aware of Mare’s
current breeding status and that she is, in fact, ready to breed. In addition, the Farm may refuse to make repeated
shipments of cooled semen if the shipments as deemed by the Stallion Owner/Farm will not reasonably lead to the
successful insemination of the Mare as contracted. Further, the Mare Owner certifies that only the Mare who is the
subject of the breeding contract shall be inseminated by the shipped cooled semen of HOT LOPIN SENSATION.
F) Best efforts will be made to provide shipped cooled semen on an as required basis according to Farm’s
Collection/Shipment days. However, a contract for cooled semen does not guarantee that semen will be available on
the day you submit your request. Cooled semen bookings will be, by necessity, of limited availability if the stallion’s
book fills with mares to be bred on the premises of Farm. Mares to be bred to HOT LOPIN SENSATION in residence
at Farm will be given priority for semen.
G) All requests for semen must be made 24 hours in advance of Collection/Shipping date. Semen requests are filled
in the order in which they are received. However, mares ordering semen first in a cycle will be given preference over
mares ordering a second or third time in a cycle. Shipped semen may only be requested to ship on regularly
scheduled breeding days at Farm. Collection/Shipping/Breeding days for HOT LOPIN SENSATION are ODD Days in
February, April & May and EVEN Days in March & June. Sorry. No Exceptions Please! Orders for CTC received after
9:00am EST may not be able to meet airline schedules. Mare Owner is responsible for shipping charges for
Cancellations received on Collection/Shipping days if already processed. We will make every attempt to get cooled
semen to your mare in good condition, however, we make no guarantees or warranties that the semen will be in good
condition upon arrival.
H) The Mare Owner agrees to comply with all AQHA, APHA or other breed association requirements concerning the
use and handling of Transported Cooled Semen. The Mare Owner shall properly send the appropriate copies of the
Collection/Insemination Certificate to their breed association and to the Stallion Owner at the address appearing
below. The parties further agree to strictly abide by Rule RG-165 as contained in the APHA Rules of Registration or
Rule 209 as contained in the AQHA Official Handbook or as modified and amended from time to time by the AQHA.
I) All of the parties to this agreement agree that the obligations of performance by the Stallion Owner/Farm shall be
met when the chilled semen shipment is accepted by the stallion manager’s shipping firm/agent. Acceptance shall be
defined as the contract expedited parcel delivery carrier actually receiving the package and Stallion Owner’s Agent
obtaining a signature from a representative on the shipment documents maintained during the ordinary course of
business by the contract expedited parcel delivery carrier or airlines counter. All parties to this agreement agree that
the risk of loss transfers to the Mare Owner upon acceptance of shipment.
J) Stallion Owner and Mare Owner to execute a “Transported Semen Breeders Certificate” and shall comply with any
parentage verification as required by the American Paint Horse Association, AQHA or other breed associations. Fees
for parent verification are the Mare Owner’s expense. This agreement is limited to breeding season of 2008.

Additional Information:
Excerpt from KyQHA ~ More Information at www.KyQHA.com :
4. For show horse awards, KyQHA BIF eligible offspring must be enrolled in the AQHA Incentive Fund. For race
horse awards, KyQHA BIF eligible offspring need not be enrolled in the AQHA Incentive Fund, however, enrollment in
the AQHA Incentive Fund for racehorse sires and their foals is HIGHLY encouraged to improve their marketability
after their racing career is over. No additional state nominations will be required.
The following KyQHA BIF eligibility criteria must be met to qualify for awards:
1.        The foal must have been born in Kentucky during 2002 or later;
2.        The foal must have been conceived in Kentucky;
3.        The “Sire” on the certificate of registration must have stood the entire breeding season solely in Kentucky in
the year that the conception occurred.*
*Note: No semen shall be allowed to be shipped into Kentucky from out-of-state stallions for show horse awards.
Semen may be shipped within Kentucky.   It is the intention of the Kentucky Quarter Horse Association to evaluate the
impact of stallion eligibility requirements on the industry prior to 2009 and to determine whether program
modifications are warranted.
Excerpt from KyPHC ~ More Information at www.KyPHC.org :
a.        Foals of 2009 born in Kentucky, must be sired by an APHA Breeder’s Trust- enrolled stallion standing in
Kentucky for the entire breeding season, and provide evidence of foaling in Kentucky.
b.        Beginning with foals of 2009 all foals must be APHA Breeders Trust-enrolled and must meet the following
requirements for Kentucky-Bred/Sired:
1.        Mares must foal in Kentucky
2.        Mares may be bred by any acceptable breeding method as described and recognized by the APHA registry
handbook.
3.        Rather than require the policing of residency, the preferred approach is to require that the stallions stand in
Kentucky, and that mares are both bred and foal in Kentucky.
2.        Additional Requirements:
a.        All owners, breeders and sire owners of KPHIF eligible horses must be members in good standing of KPHC,
APHA, and their horses be in the APHA Breeders Trust (starting in 2008) before checks will be issued. It is not

participate in this Incentive Fund.
b.        The person submitting the foal nomination to the Kentucky Paint Horse Club (KPHC) must also be a member of
KPHC. If not already a member, they may submit their membership application at the time they submit their foal
nomination form.
c.        A copy of the APHA registration for each horse being nominated will be required.
Excerpt from KApOA ~ More Information at www.kyappaloosas.homestead.com :
