📌 General Breeding Conditions – Summary

The following general conditions apply to all stallions unless explicitly stated otherwise on the individual stallion page or contract.

  • Stallion-specific terms: Each stallion has its own breeding conditions and fees. Always refer to the individual stallion page or contract for definitive details.
  • Prices: All prices are VAT included and exclude transport costs.
  • Payment: Each portion of frozen semen must be paid in full before delivery. No semen will be released or shipped without prior payment.
  • Ordering: Orders can be placed by phone, by e-mail, or preferably via the H5 Stallions webshop for efficient handling.
  • Shipment: Shipment is at the mare owner’s full risk and responsibility.
  • Ownership: Ownership of the semen remains with H5 Stallions until full payment is received.

Use, ICSI & OPU

  • Frozen semen may only be used for the mare for which it was purchased.
  • ICSI (Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) and OPU (Ovum Pick-Up) are strictly prohibited unless prior written approval is obtained from H5 Stallions.
  • ICSI / OPU may only be performed through H5 Stallions–approved facilities.
  • Any unauthorised use will result in immediate withdrawal of breeding rights and may lead to legal action.

Pregnancy, Re-delivery & Liability

  • In principle, no pregnancy guarantee applies to frozen semen, unless otherwise stated per stallion.
  • The mare owner is entitled to one second attempt and re-delivery upon presentation of a veterinary certificate confirming the mare is not in foal.
  • Re-delivery applies only to the same mare, within the same or following breeding season, and is non-transferable.
  • H5 Stallions cannot be held responsible for reduced fertility, misuse, veterinary errors, or damage/loss during transport, storage, or use.
  • Purchase or use of semen implies full acceptance of these conditions.
  • All disputes are governed by Belgian law.
