Fun on the Farm!

Hello again!

I'm excited and proud to announce a new addition to Equine Science 4 Kids - "Fun on the Farm" - an interactive game based on the environmental impact of horse farms! Fun on the Farm is closely based on the Horses and the Environment section of Equine Science 4 Kids, and on the Ryders Lane Environmental Best Management Practices Demonstration Horse Farm virtual tour on the Equine Science Center website. Test your knowledge about how green horse farms can be, and see if you have what it takes to be a farm manager at the Ryders Lane Farm!

Stay tuned for more updates and news!

Frankie Returns!

Hey Kids!

Do you remember my pal Frankie? She starred in "Horses on Treadmills?!" here on Equine Science 4 Kids! Well, she is back along with some of my other friends from the Equine Science Center. Take the new Equine Exercise Physiology Laboratory virtual tour on the Equine Science Center website. The virtual tour of the "Treadmill Laboratory" will show you what the scientists and students at the Equine Science Center do.

Did any of you see me at the 4-H State Championship Horse Show on August 27th? Being back in the show ring made me feel like a colt again! I was feeling so good, I had a hard time staying still during the opening ceremonies. I ate so much cake and ice cream that I completely blew my diet! There are some new pictures of yours truly enjoying the festivities; check them out!

Remember, if you have any questions about equine science, you can email me at LordNelson@njaes.rutgers.edu.

Until next time friends!

Star Power at the State 4-H Horse Show

Hello again!

It's going to be another great week for horses and horse-people in New Jersey! This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is the New Jersey State 4-H Championship Horse Show. Young equestrians from all over the Garden State who have advanced from their county shows will be competing in different events, such as Western and English riding, Driving, and Dressage. Other attractions at the horse show will include the 4-H Youth Art Show, 4-H Drill Team Exhibition, and the Horse Costume Class!

Rumor has it that there will be a special guest at the horse show on Friday, August 27th. Do you have any guesses about who will be there? Could it be Justin Bieber? The cast of Jersey Shore? Governor Christie?

I can't keep a secret - I'm making a guest appearance Friday night! Stop by to see yours truly and get the scoop on the Equine Science Center straight from the horse's mouth. You can probably find me by the ice cream; being a VIP definitely has its advantages!

Come out to the NJ State 4-H Championship Horse Show from August 27-29 at the Horse Park of New Jersey in Allentown to support your fellow young horse enthusiasts and to see me!


Your pal,
