If the mare does not become pregnant in the current breeding season: Hesselhoej offers the breeder the amount of 1. rate for the next breeding season.
If the mare loses the foal after the 2. rate is paid: Hesselhoej offers the breeder the 2. rate amount for the next breeding season.
Please note that the 2. rate will be “free”, but that the 1. rate must be paid again.

This gives the breeder extra security if the mare does not foal, or if the mare loses the foal after the 2. rate is paid.
