 prescribed fees.

17. Persons issuing nomination tickets (free or otherwise) are to 

 inform the owner of the stallion of the names of the persons to whom 

 they have issued them. The tickets are to be handed to the stallion 

 owner on the occasion of the first service, and he is to give a receipt 

 for them, and for any service fees paid direct to him. 



18. A receipt from the stallion owner for the payment of the service 

 fee or for a nomination ticket will on production to the stallion owner

 on two future occasions during the season of service. 



19. A service ticket is not transferable by the person to whom it is 

 issued, and is available only for the mare for which it is issued and 

 for the stallion mentioned thereon.

 is liable for the payment of the fee. 



21. A mare can only be served at the risk of her owner or his 

 representative. 



22. The owner of a stallion, or his representative, may require 

 hobbles to be used for any mare served. 



23. The owner of a stallion or his representative may refuse to allow 

 his stallion to serve a mare suffering from a contagious disease, but 

 he must immediately notify the reason for such refusal to the Board, 

 and, in the case of a mare with a free service ticket or that of a leased 

 mare, to the County Committee as well. 



24. On completion of a first service the owners of the stallion and 

 mare, or their representatives, are to sign and countersign respec- 

 tively the service ticket in the service book of the stallion owner. 



On completion of a second and third service the owner of the
