Foal Alarm Hire Contract

By picking up a foal alarm for hire you agree to the following terms & conditions:

Terms & Conditions:

This contract is formed between Rose Flats Equestrian and the customer only.

The customer agrees that this unit is for their use only, and may not be lent to another person during the hire period.

The customer understands that they will be charged $10 per day until it is returned with a minimum charge of $100 which is due for payment prior to pick up. Additional transmitters that work off the one base unit are available at an additional cost if multiple mares are due around the same time.

The total number of days during the hire period includes the date of pick up (or day it is delivered to post office if being couriered) and the day of return to Rose Flats Equestrian.

Broken parts will be charged to the customer at the relevant replacement cost.

The customer agrees to test the unit before putting it on their mare to check that the range works from the location of the base unit to the paddock or yard where the mare will be kept. Please do this the day you receive the unit to ensure you are all set up prior to your mare urgently requiring it! If you have any troubles please get in touch immediately.

The customer agrees to follow the instructions provided when setting up the unit and attaching the monitor to the halter. Further more detailed instructions can be viewed here if needed.

No responsibility is taken for units not working. Every unit is checked prior to pick up to ensure the alarm triggers as it should.

Rose Flats Equestrian takes no responsibility for batteries running out during use. A brand new, unused battery is provided at the beginning of this contract. While it shouldn’t run out of battery it is up to the customer to check that it is still working, and replace if necessary.

The customer acknowledges that the unit is designed to work over a limited distance from the base unit.

  • Up to 200m with the internal telescopic antenna (provided with all units)
  • Up to 400m with the external wire (which not all units have)
  • These are 'best case scenario' figures. In reality obstructions such as wire fences, hills, trees and buildings will reduce this range. A direct line of site will ensure best results.
  • If in doubt please confirm with us that your set up will be suitable prior to booking; there will be no refunds for units that do not work for your set up.
  • If your foaling paddocks are greater than 100m from the house please ensure we are aware of this so the external wire can be sent. If on arrival your unit does not have sufficient range we can send the big external aerial if there is one available at the time

It is your responsibility to keep us up to date on when you require the foal alarm. Please keep in touch when your mare is getting close to needing one.

For foal alarms being couriered please give us at least two days warning of when you require it be sent. We recommend courier dates towards to beginning of the week to ensure no hold ups over the weekend.

Once your mare has foaled please repackage everything in the container as you originally found it and return or take to post office as soon as possible. Please be reminded the daily rate is applicable until its safe return.
