Hello again!
My friends at the Rutgers Equine Science Center told me that they had over 5,000 visitors at the treadmill laboratory last weekend during Ag Field Day. They also told me the Equine Science 4 Kids bright red recycled tote bags was very popular, and that they handed out almost 1,000 bags in less than two hours! I think having my adorable face on the bag probably had something to do with the bags disappearing so quickly...
I heard the line to watch Snowdrift and Maggie run on the high-speed horse treadmill was practically wrapped around the building! People were lining-up 30 minutes before the demonstrations in order to watch Snowdrift and Maggie run.
Don't worry if you missed the equine treadmill demonstrations at Ag Field Day. I am helping my friends at the Equine Science Center put the finishing touches on a video of Frankie running on the treadmill.
Stay tuned - we'll have that video up on Equine Science 4 Kids soon!

Welcome
Hi Friends,
You’re probably wondering how a horse is able to type a blog. Well, typing is easy – setting up the computer in my stall was the hard part!
As you may already know, I worked at Rutgers University for 22 years before retiring in 2000. From participating in football games, to witnessing the creation of the Equine Science Center (my favorite place on campus, for obvious reasons!) – I have just about seen it all!
When my friends at the Equine Science Center asked me help them with the Equine Science 4 Kids site, I had only one request – I wanted a blog. I have so many funny and interesting stories to share, and a blog is the perfect way for me to communicate with you.
Although I have a busy daily schedule (grazing in a pasture for 16 hours is hard work – but someone’s got to do it!), I plan to update Holy Hoofprints about 2-3 times every month.
Before I go, do you have plans on Saturday, April 24? If not, go visit my friends at the Equine Science Center during Ag Field Day. I heard they will have a couple of really cool demonstrations in the exercise physiology lab.
Stay tuned; my next blog post will be coming soon!
