  Discussion on Need Lethal White Foal SynDrOme Allowance Contract

I have some folks interested in my AQHA solid mare, but they want to trade their APHA splash overo mare, who is bred to a APHA splash overo stud. Neither has been tested for OWLS. I'm looking for a sale/trade agreement/contract that could be amended to contain an allowance for, in the event of the occurrence of lethal white foal synDrOme upon birth of the foal, another breeding to a different stallion, preferably of my choosing. Technically, foal will stand and suck. If it is born with both genes, it will also die within 24 - 48 hours. I will also need language for this amendment.

I am not an attorney, but one thing I would be careful of is giving a specific time limit for foal death - i.e. 24 - 48 hours - as I have heard of a number of Lethal White Foal SynDrOme victims who survived for a number of days longer. You may want to have a legal expert word it for you in such a way that if the foal dies - PERIOD - and it is shown to have expired due to Lethal White Foal SynDrOme, you then have the option of rebreeding to a different comparably-priced stallion of your choice.

Sara, you may want to contact the APHA on this. Check out their web sight. They might even have some forms you could check out. You could call them or email them with your questions and they respond very fast. You might consider that if you have a lethal white, that they give you back the price of the breeding and then you can find a stallion you like and breed to. This way you can take your time and research some of the studs and not have to worry about a time frame.
Hope this helps.

Sara, I forgot to mention in the above, that some of the nicest colored paint baby's are out of QH mares. When I used to breed paint thats all I had were QH mare to breed to my paint stud. If you do this you might want to find a breeder who
guarantees color.
