New Brunswick, NJ — The Rutgers Equine Science Center’s 2023 Summer Showcase will be held Thursday (July 13) from 12-2 p.m. (EDT).

Come see the thrilling demonstration of a horse galloping at full speed on the 21-foot equine treadmill. Always a crowd favorite, the demo is sure to get one’s adrenaline pumping and heart racing.

After the treadmill demonstration, guests will learn all about equine anatomy with RU Wish Bone, the life-sized horse skeleton. This year a new activity will be added to help recognize the change is equine muscles. Dr. Alisa Herbst will teach everyone her Muscle Atrophy Scoring System (MASS) for Horses. Finally, a tour of the Equine Exercise Physiology Laboratory will include an update on the recent research taking place in the lab.
