What is a “Live Foal Guarantee” (LFG)?
This term means different things to different breeders and you should establish what is meant before proceeding. The minimum this could mean is standing & suckling immediately after birth. To us it means alive & healthy. It also means that the death of the foal must be attributable to its health at birth (i.e. not an accident). For your satisfaction, we do not place a time limit on this. After all, we all know that if your car is warranted for 1 year, it will break down in a year and a day. With a LFG we are talking about you mare’s foal, not a machine. We understand the emotional investment in breeding your mare. Every breeder no matter how big or small has a big investment in breeding. If the death of your foal is due to a problem at birth or if your mare aborts or absorbs, we will either re-breed her the next year or reimburse your stud fee – your choice.
