Hay everyone!
I hope everyone enjoyed trying out some of our holiday activities from my last blog! Today, I’d like to showcase our first event of 2025: the Horse Management Seminar. We heard that y’all really enjoyed attending the in-person session as well as the ones online, so we’re keeping it around this year. Check it out:
In-Person: “Emergencies, Pasture, and Pain…Oh My!”
You’ll get to hear from experts on these topics on Saturday, February 1st from 8:00am to 4:00pm at the Rutgers University Cook Campus Center. Speakers will discuss how to prepare yourself and your horses for emergencies, managing your personal pastures, checking if your horse is in pain, and more. These experts from many different fields will be coming to Rutgers to share their knowledge with all of you folks, so this is a great opportunity to get some insider information and ask lots of questions.

After you’ve gotten the chance to hang out with the ESC on Saturday, you can tune in for more presentations over the next few weeks.

Each webinar will be from 6:30pm to 8:30pm, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions during that time. The topics include nutrition for horses with endocrine disorders, identifying toxic plants in your pasture, and much more.
