    50/50 Terms

    Land Force 2024 Stud Fee 50% 1st Oct SLF Target Sale Price £/Gns Remaining 50% if Target Price achieved
    £5,000 £2,500 15,000 £2,500

    The 50/50 Terms enable breeders to purchase any nomination to a Highclere Stud stallion by paying 50% of the fee on 1st October SLF. The remaining 50% will only be payable when the progeny reaches its target price at public auction as a foal or yearling. If the breeder places a reserve on the progeny in excess of the target price, the remaining 50% fee would become payable.

    Similarly, when using these terms should the breeder subsequently decide not to sell the progeny at public auction, the remaining 50% fee would become payable.

    Euros4Euros Terms

    Land Force £5,000 €5,000

    European breeders can benefit from another of Highclere Stud’s nomination through our Euros4Euros Terms.

    When a mare visits from an EU country the nomination currency is automatically switched into Euros. This mechanism not only assists European breeders with the increased costs in travelling mares internationally to be covered, but also helps keep things simple when a European breeder also takes 50/50 Terms and sells the progeny in Euros.
