1.) R3 will always have first right of refusal on every foal born. If we decide to retain one of our foals, it will be done before entering a contract agreement.

2.) If you want to put money down on one of our guaranteed roan foals in utero, it will require a $300 REFUNDABLE deposit. Your deposit will secure first priority with our time, such as foaling updates in the form of personal notifications. Each mare has a due date on our web sites "Our Mares" link.

3.) You will have the opportunity to go on a list for a particular cross (Swisher Hancock x mare/s of choice). It is basically a list for 1st right of refusal. Please note that ppl on our waiting list will get the chance to purchase the foal at our BEST price. After our list is contacted and becomes null and void, the price may go up at anytime without notice.

4.) You will inform us if you want a colt or filly and if you have a color choice that test out a specific way. We will go down the list according to your established preferences. Prices will range between $5000 - $7500 (updated 07/10/2022) and will be set on an individual evaluation determined by many factors some of which are sex of the foal and the specific color test results of the foal. Feel free to contact us and ask what price range your particular needs fall in.

5.) Once the foal is born, we will contact you and at that point we will start a age progressive photo album on that foal. You will be able to follow the development of this foal until he or she leaves. We generally take photos every 2-3 weeks which goes into their specific Facebook album. A link to that album may be found off our web site under the foals information.

6.) In most circumstances, around 1 month old, we will have pulled hair and color tested the foal, then soon after we will price him/her. After the foal is priced, you will only get a couple days from time of contact to decide whether or not you wish to place the foal under contract. It is your responsibility to put back deposit money and follow this foal from birth, so you should already have an idea if you are interested! Placing a foal under contract cost 25% down and is non-refundable. The difference in the $300 will be applied to the 25% down payment and the remaining balance will be due asap. If you do not want that foal, you will either get your initial $300 back or move it to the next mares foal.

7.) This amendment will be applied starting in 2023! AUGUST 1st, another 25% payment is due! This is re-fundable if you can not forfill your final payment obligation. But, only after the foal has been re-sold. I had to re-think our contract terms due to if someone is going to back out on us, it will be when I start pushing them to arrange transportation. I generally get ghosted in AUGUST by those who realize they can not afford both the remaining balance and transport cost. What does this mean for me, stress! So, now by asking for an additional 25% payment I can get prepared to re-list the foal if this payment is missed and still get them placed by weaning time!

8.) If nobody on the list places the foal under contract, the list will become null and void. At this point, first approved home with the down payment money will take president.

9.) If not under contract, the foal will be re-evaluated between the age of 3-4 months old and at that time the price may increase. Actually, unless under contract the price may increase at anytime without prior notice, but 3-4 months will be our first price evaluation after the initial price has been set for list buyers. The correct price will always be reflected in their age progressive album and on our web site.

10.) Transportation and Insurance can be arranged. Contact us for our list of recommendations. R3 works closely with transporters every year. We require a BOX STALL for the weanlings so they can lay down and stay on the trailer the entire trip. The cost per loaded mile can be figured at $1.50+ on average (Summer of 2022 update, can't really estimate this now with fuel always on the rise). Please take transportation into consideration when securing your foal with us!

🤍 A contract will be drawn up specifying price, 25% non-refundable deposit amount and deadline for pick-up after the foal is weaned.

🤍 Print and sign 2 copies, return to us with down payment. We will sign both, keep one for our records and return the other to you.

🤍 On business day 7 after initial contact you must post mark/send the signed contract with deposit. We ask that you secure returned contract by using a carrier that provides a tracking number and contact us with that tracking number. USPS priority mail w/tracking number cost under $10.00 and is sufficient.

🤍 (New amendment, starting with our 2023 foaling season). A 2nd 25% payment will be required AUGUST 1st and is refundable if final payment can not be made, but only after foal is re-sold!

🤍 Remaining 50% will be due the day I state weanling can go home (see contract, this date changes each yr due to expected weaning day).

🤍 We generally wean between September 15th - October 15th, weanlings will be ready to leave 2wks after weaning. You get 2wks to make pick-up arrangements, after date in contract feed charges are applied. There is a "must be pick-up by date" set in contract. Other arrangements may be made prior to signing contract.

🤍 We do offer board for $125, paid weekly +feed/supplements/hoof care (we supply alfalfa/coastal +turn out and shelter).
