Well that is a wrap! 2026 eggs AG field day horse show is in the books. Everybody got a tiny bit wet but definitely could have been worse! Blow our pictures from the end of the show in the next couple days we will be posting more pictures from the day. But I want to say thank you to all of the student coordinators and supervisors. And congratulations to all of the students on a very hard-worked semester!

Can’t believe Ag Field Day is already so close! Students have been working hard with their horse partners. Over the last week they had also had some extra help from our show judge, Kennis Fairfax, and our very own Director of Equine Science Center, Carey Williams. Thank you so much for helping out our students!!

Catch them both at the horse show on Ag Field Day! The show will be at the ring outside the Red Barn on the Farm at 10 am

Come join us for an awesome educational event! The Equine Science Center is putting on 'Equine Disease Day' in combination with some of our TOP area veterinarians! It will be a great afternoon!

Join us for the Fall 2025 Horse Management Seminar!

We are moving the in-person seminar to the Fall, and the Webinar Series will remain in the Spring so that you have a full year of programming!

Also, we are trying out a new location! This year, the Horse Management Seminar will be held at the Rutgers EcoComplex, with a new time and two different ticket options.

I should also give a shout out to our Champion, Nathaniel Baptista, who designed our show shirts this year! He did a fantastic job capturing the five teaching Rutgers University Teaching Herd - RUTH horses! It was just a little too late to put RIP under Eden's name.. 😢 He was missed on Saturday for sure!
