The Rutgers University Equine Science Center is gearing up for its annual Spring Webinar Series. A webinar is a seminar, presentation, and/or lecture transmitted over the internet. Webinars are designed to be interactive with the ability to give, receive, and discuss information. The webinar series is presented free of charge and is open to the public. This spring’s theme is "Responsible Horse Ownership."

The first webinar will be on April 3 at 7:00 p.m. Bill Day, PhD, assistant professor at Morrisville State College Equine Institute of SUNY Morrisville, will present "Horse Promotion and Marketability." Day will outline the factors that go into marketing horses and the different horse markets in the industry today. The webinar can be accessed at https://tinyurl.com/7j2ywar.

The second webinar will be on April 10 at 7:00 p.m. Carolyn Stull, MS, PhD, animal welfare specialist from the University of California’s Veterinary Medicine Extension, will present "Refeeding the Starved Horse." This topic is extremely important for anyone considering horse rescue, whether as an organization or as an individual. Refeeding a starved horse is not as simple as it may seem, and this presentation is designed to help horse rescuers avoid making mistakes that could harm their new horse. The webinar can be accessed at https://tinyurl.com/6wrjqvl.

For both sessions, it’s recommended to log on to the webinar 10-15 minutes before the start time in order to install the software and make sure the sound is working
