- All fees including the stallion fee, farm fee, courier and shipping charges must be paid prior to any semen shipment. There will be no exception.
- A copy of mare’s registration or registration number must be on file with Spring Hill Farms.
- Shipping charges are accrued EACH time semen is shipped. The cost of a Fed-Ex shipment is $350 and counter to counter shipments will be assessed a fee of $400 (which includes a $150 courier fee to transport the Equitaner to the airport).
- Farm pickups will be assessed a fee of $125.
- All shipping charges, by whatever method, are the responsibility of the mare owner.
- Spring Hill Farms requests that ALL semen orders be made on the day PRIOR to the collection day. Those ordering semen should contact our office no later than 9 AM on the collection day to CONFIRM the semen order.
- When a shipment departs Spring Hill Farms, ALL LIABILITY for shipments not received, for whatever reason, are borne by the mare owner. If Spring Hill Farms can recover a refund, it will be passed back to the client.

Please review the 2023 collection schedule below. Stallions will not be collected on a non-breeding day. No exceptions will be made.
- Early notice is appreciated for semen orders, semen will be dosed and shipped on a first come first serve basis.
