Fuzzy Wuzzy was a…HORSE!

Ahh Choo! 

Pollen isn't the only thing that is flying in the air and making me sneeze, so is my own HAIR!  It’s shedding season and a nice gust of wind sends my hair flying everywhere, tickling my nose.  My equine scientist friend AND colleague (heh, heh, heh) spent several hours this past Saturday trying to help remove my undercoat by grooming me.  I’m surprised that I’m not bald, considering all of the hair that Dr. M has combed off of me.  It’s probably enough to cover another Lord Nelson!

June - Celebrations and Itchiness!

June is my favorite month of the year! Not only because it marks the official start of summer, or because the school year is finally over, but it is also the Month of the Horse! New Jersey Department of Agriculture Secretary Doug Fisher and the Equine Science Center's own Dr. Malinowski, kicked off the month of the horse on June 10th at the Standardbred Retirement Foundation Farm (the same folks who brought my research horse pals to Rutgers!) by announcing the various events planned to celebrate New Jersey's state animal! It's like a party that lasts all month long!
