Vet Report
Often, before re-breeding, the stallion owner will require a veterinary report, giving the cause for the problem. This is to ensure that the mare is healthy & able to carry a foal, and to check for genetic incompatibilities. (There are certain genetic crosses that are lethal to the foal.) There is no point to re-breeding in such cases, so the stallion owner will allow substitution of another mare, or will return the stud fee.

Famous quotes containing the word report:
“The report reflects incredibly terrible judgments, shockingly sparse concern for human life, instances of officials lacking the courage to exercise the responsibilities of their high office and some very bewildering thought processes.”
—Jane Jarrell Smith, U.S. widow of American astronaut Michael J. Smith. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 13 (June 30, 1986)
