What should you feed your horse? Rutgers has the answers

With so many types of feed on the market, it’s hard to decide what your horse should eat–or even how much–for optimum health and performance.

The mysteries of equine nutrition will be unraveled next year with a 14-week Rutgers University course, which is being given both on line and in the classroom.

This undergraduate course is offered on a non-credit basis to barn managers, horse owners, trainers, feed sales representatives or anyone who is simply interested in the topic. Those registered as a continuing education student will receive 3.6 continuing education units rather than undergraduate college credits.

The class will be taught by Dr. Carey Williams from 12:35-1:55 p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays, starting Jan 23 and running through May 6. At Rutgers, the course will be held in Bartlett Hall, Room 123 on the Cook Campus in New Brunswick.
