Annual Stallion Auction Benefits Equine Research

Colorado State University will hold its annual stallion auction to benefit equine research from Tuesday, Jan. 10, to Tuesday, Jan. 17. Proceeds from the auction will go to fund equine research programs at the university.

Colorado State's equine research is recognized internationally, including its Orthopaedic Research Center, which focuses on finding new treatments for joint disease and injuries, as well as technology that can help to prevent these injuries. The Equine Reproduction Laboratory is recognized around the world for its reproductive research.

The stud services of approximately 90 stallions, primarily cutting, some reining and racing quarter horses, will be offered at the auction. Interested horse owners can visit the Web at http://www.csuequineortho.com to see photos of the horses, minimum bids and read other details on each stallion.
