[RC] [Guest] Breeding Question - Ridecamp Guestk s swigart katswig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx jcheard asked: Is it normal to pay the booking fee in advance or at time of service? It is normal to pay the booking fee at the time the contract is signed and the service is "booked." Then you have to read the contract to see if/whether there is any provision for getting it back (usually there isn't) or if it will be applied to the service fee, or the stud fee, or the live- foal guarantee fee (frequently, but not always). Breeding contracts vary all over the map. And it behooves any mare owner that is booking a breeding to read the breeding contract carefully before signing it (and yes, for me, there are deal breakers that some stallion owners put in their breeding contracts that would keep me from breeding to their stallion, no matter how much I liked the stallion). It is only if the stallion owner doesn't adhere to the terms of the contract that one can, in law, get the booking fee back. kat Orange County, Calif. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
