Equine Science Center Shines at the Colts Neck Barn Tour

New Brunswick, N.J. – Rutgers University students studying Animal Sciences recently served as tour guide assistants on behalf of the Equine Science Center during the Colts Neck Barn Tour. The tour, sponsored by the Colts Neck Polo Club, featured exclusive visits to five grand stables in Colts Neck, NJ. The Ashley Lauren Foundation and Someone Special Needs You were the designated beneficiaries of the tour.

Dr. Karyn Malinowski, director of the Equine Science Center, led students to their stable post and checked in with them throughout the afternoon. The 10 students answered equine-related questions from tour attendees and provided support to stable owners. “Our students were eager to lend a helping hand at some of New Jersey’s most prestigious horse breeding and training farms,” says Malinowski. “Not only were students exposed to influential individuals within the horse industry, but they were provided the opportunity to share the science-based research they are currently conducting and the hands-on equine experience they are receiving at the Equine Science Center.”
