Barn management

Fire Safety: RU Prepared?

January 19, 2018

One of Lord Nelson’s best pals reporting for blog post duty! My name is Allie, and I’m one of Dr. McKeever’s research horses. Did you know the most frequent times of the year for barn fires are during the summer and winter?

About Me

I’m Lord Nelson, a American Quarter Horse.

My first job at Rutgers University was on mounted patrol. I also carried the Scarlet Knight mascot at football games. One day I became famous when I got excited, stepped onto the field and became the only horse in history to receive a penalty in a football game! And I’m curious and mischievous! I love to be outside, so don’t ever leave my stall door open. I love all kinds of food – just about nothing at a picnic is safe. I also don’t like cheese puffs. That cheetah on the bag scares me to death! After 22 years on mounted patrol, I’m proud to be back, working for the Rutgers Equine Science Center and telling everyone what I know.
