Colorado State University's Equine Reproduction Short Courses began in 1971 with one artificial insemination course and four participants. The series now has an annual attendance of more than 300 from all over the world. One distinguishing feature of these courses is a blending of time spent in lecture with time spent at the Equine Reproduction Laboratory applying new knowledge through active participation or demonstration. Approximately one-half of participants' time is spent in laboratory sessions.
To ensure comprehensive, in-depth instruction to participants, course
size is limited and course registrants are accepted on a first-come
basis. The entire fee must accompany the registration form. Please
do not make travel arrangements until you receive written confirmation.
The registration fee includes extensive lecture and laboratory sessions,
laboratory supplies, welcoming reception, lunches and breaks, lecture
notes, reference literature, transportation to and from laboratory
sessions and a certificate of completion.
Courses are subject to cancellation when registration is inadequate to cover costs of the program. Registration at least six weeks before the course will help prevent cancellation. If minimum registration is not reached six weeks prior to the scheduled date of the course, it will be cancelled.
Course lectures are held at the Fort Collins Hilton, 429 W. Prospect Road, Fort Collins, Colorado or at the Equine Teaching and Research Center, 701 S. Overland Trail, Fort Collins, Colorado. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Fort Collins Hilton at a special rate for the courses. When reservations are made by phone, please indicate that you are attending the Colorado State Equine Sciences short course or you will not receive the special rate. Cut-off date for the special rate is 30 days prior to the course. For a list of other hotels and motels in the area, click here.
Laboratory work and demonstrations are held on the Colorado State University Foothills Research Campus. Transportation is provided for the lab sessions. Some laboratory sessions are held in an exposed, outdoor area. You should bring appropriate clothing for these outdoor sessions.
