aforementioned mare is in good breeding health.

agrees to pay a $275.00 deposit on the cooled semen Equitainer, in the event
that one is used, prior to the first shipment. This deposit will be refunded
when the mare is checked in foal or at the completion of shipments AND after
the container has been returned undamaged. Mare Owner agrees to return
Equitainer by overnight express or second day air at Mare Owner's expense. If

charge of $25.00 per day deducted from deposit.
