Carey Williams, MS, PhD, received the 2015 American Society of Animal Science and Equine Science Society’s (ASAS-ESS) Equine Science Award.

Williams, associate director of Extension at the Rutgers University Equine Science Center and an associate professor in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences Department of Animal Sciences, was honored at the society’s annual meeting in Orlando, Florida.

Williams’ primary appointment at the New Brunswick, New Jersey, institution is Extension and outreach, where she provides statewide leadership in three main areas: equine nutrition, pasture management, and overall horse management. Creating programs that have focused on pasture management for horse farms and creating best management practices leading to healthier animals and a more sustainable environment, these project areas have drawn industry partners including professionals, volunteers, and youth.

Williams was principal investigator on a successful grant titled “Sustainable Pasture Management for Horses,” the first to be awarded to an equine project from the Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension (SARE, a program of the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service). The program emphasis led to improved pasture quality and water-soil conditions on horse farms meeting SARE’s mission for sustainable projects
