1.       Purchase of Horse. Seller does hereby sell, convey, transfer, set over and assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser does hereby purchase from Seller a fifty one percent (51%) Interest in and to the Horse upon the terms and conditions contained herein, and specifically the conditions precedent set forth in Paragraph 2, below.
