The second annual Kentucky Breeders' Short Course, hosted by the University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center, will be held Jan. 22.

This year's course also will offer a one-day Veterinarians' Day for equine veterinarians on Jan. 21. The Kentucky Breeders' Day is for owners and managers of all horse breeds or anyone with an interest in learning more about the industry.

The Kentucky Breeders' Day and Veterinarians' Day will each include a half-day session on equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) as part of a research project between faculty at the University of Kentucky and the University of Minnesota.

Registration for the Veterinarians’ Day and Kentucky Breeders' Day will begin Oct. 15 on the Gluck Center's website. Early bird registration for the Veterinarians' Day is $100 and for the Kentucky Breeders' Day is $35.

Jenny Blandford is the Gluck Equine Research Foundation assistant at the Gluck Center.
