Recognizing the growing trend toward multi-tasking, the Equine Science at Rutgers University in New Jersey has created a series of podcasts for learners “on the run” or on their computers.

Using the latest in learning techniques, the podcasts cover some of the most asked-for information presented in the popular print-version Fact Sheets produced by Rutgers Cooperative Extension faculty and posted on the Equine Science Center Web site.

Podcast subjects currently include:
• The Basics of Equine Nutrition (in two parts);
• Care for the Older Horse: Diet and Health;
• The Basics of Equine Behavior;
• Horse Trailer Maintenance and Trailering Safety (in two parts).

The running time for the podcasts ranges from five to seven minutes. They are available for listening or downloading on the Rutgers podcast site at https://iTunes.rutgers.edu and via a link on the home page of the Equine Science Center Web site (www.esc.rutgers.edu)
