On Dec. 11, 2012, the Rutgers Equine Science Center (ESC) provided information and entertainment to its many guests at the annual Equine Science Update, which was held at the Cook Campus Center on the G.H. Cook Campus. The evening was deemed a success as faculty and staff provided an update of their current and on-going research projects.

The engaging evening of equine science began with an energetic account of the importance of rider safety by Cape May County 4-H member Katie Washart. Katie’s presentation, "Hats, Helmets, and Everything In Between," emphasized the need for awareness and proper safety precautions when riding a horse.

The partnership between the ESC and 4-H was further evidenced by the New Jersey 4-H Horse Project Advisory Committee (HPAC) presenting the ESC with a financial gift of support. Helen Ferraro and Estella Almeida, HPAC Program Leaders, issued a challenge to all guests in attendance to also be creative in developing ways to support the ESC.

Guests were then treated to an unexpected surprise when Rutgers University Mounted Patrol officer Emily Ghods and her horse Dodgeball made a guest appearance and captured the full attention of everyone in the conference room. A tearful Karyn Malinowski, PhD, ESC director, acknowledged that, true to the mission of the ESC, the Mounted Patrol officers are also committed to the care, well-being, and performance of horses and the equine industry
