 by affidavit, shall issue a certificate to the owner of the 

 said sire, a copy of which certificate shall be forwarded

INDIANA. 



A sire owner in Indiana who takes out a license for his 

 horse has a lien on the get for the amount of the service 

 fee agreed on. If there was no specific agreement, then 

 for the amount of the advertised fee. To make the lien 

 good against third parties, the stallioner must file a notice 

 in the office of the recorder in the county where the owner 

 of the mare resides. This notice must be filed within one 

 year from the date of service, and gives the stallioner a lien 

 as against third parties for one year after such filing. This 

 constitutes notice to all of the existence of the lien and 

 the stallioner may take the get in any township in the 

 state, in which it may be found, in an action before a 

 justice of the peace in that township. The notice must 

 contain a description of the dam, owner's name, name of 

 sire, name and residence of its owner, date of service and 

 amount of service fee, together with any written agree- 

 ment which may have been made at the time of service. 



Where the mare and get remain in the hands of the 

 same owner who brought the mare for service, the licensed 

 sire owner will have a lien for two years from the date of 

 service, and one year from the date of filing notice when 

 the colt has been disposed of.
