How it works

a. Select a stallion from those listed on the Stallion Exchange website. If you wish to see more complete details of the selected stallion, click on  the appropriate stallion  link  .

b. Choose the type of conditions under which you wish to make an offer. – Live Foal Guarantee, No Guarantee, Free Return or Share.

c. Look at the advertised service fee and submit an offer for the service fee that you are prepared to offer. All offers will be reviewed and submitted to our pool of contacts. (Offers should be realistic or they are likely to be rejected.) If a stallion is shown as book full you can still submit a bid, but it is only likely that an offer would be accepted if it is higher than the advertised fee. (There may be shareholders prepared to accept a higher offer)

d. Notification of whether the offer is accepted will be made within 48 hours.

e. The fees applied by Stallion Exchange for this service are detailed in the table below (conditions apply). They are expressed in the currency of the country where the stallion is standing. These fees are due and payable immediately upon notification of acceptance of your offer. Payment  to be made by credit card at the fee appropriate to the agreed service fee.   "The Stallion Exchange reserves the right to change these fee structures at any time and in line with normal increases in consumer indexes. All parties that are registered with Stex will be notified of any changes to these fees at the time they occur."

e. Acceptance of an offer represents a contract between the mare owner and the representatives of the stallion and obligates the mare owner to pay the appropriate service fee and any other associated charges so mare owners should be aware that any offer made is not a bid but A LIVE OFFER.

f. Once payment is received a Notice of Sale will be issued to both the person making the offer and the stallion owner, detailing the mare concerned in the offer and the terms.

g. On receipt of the Notice of Sale the mare owner may then proceed with final booking arrangements for the mare with the stud at which the stallion stands.

h. It is important to be aware that as the submission of an offer is a live offer there is an implied obligation that you will pay the amount offered and that if you are notified that an offer is accepted you have entered into a contract to proceed with sending the mare to the stallion under the agreed conditions and to pay the appropriate costs.
