Mare owner agrees to have said mare pregnancy checked within forty-five days from the date of last breeding and provide said information to Farm within five days from the date of said pregnancy check. Failure to provide said information waives the live foal guarantee although Mare Owner shall have a guaranteed right to rebreed the following breeding season at the rate set for said breeding season.
