To Our Equine Enthusiast Family,
As previously announced, the Equine Science Center has created a webpage with a resource list for Covid-19 Equine Related Resources for New Jersey. The page is a compilation of phenomenal resources that have been made available by various groups. We will update this page as more resources are made available or updated. You can access it here.
While all of us continue to #StayHome to prevent the spread of the virus, the Center wanted to also showcase some fun resources to take your mind off things and provide a break from the news. Each week we will post a few links from our archives to interesting stories, fact sheets, podcasts, and other resources available on our site. Our professors have also been cataloging resources to share from other universities and websites that they believe are both educational and entertaining that we will include.
For the first week’s theme, we wanted to focus on pastures:

We hope that this first list will keep you informed and entertained, and we look forward to seeing you back on our website next week!
As always, we will remain dedicated to providing “Better Horse Care through Research and Education” during these difficult times.
Best,
The Equine Science Center
