Equine Science Center
How We
Benefit You
The work of the Equine Science Center has a measurable and direct impact
on all users of horses in the state of New Jersey, irrespective of
discipline and breed.
The Equine Science Center, acknowledging the symbiotic relationship
between the equine industry and agri-business in New Jersey for more than a
decade, has educated the public about the equine industry’s benefits and
significant impact for all residents in the state, even those not directly
involved in agriculture.
The Equine Science Center is recognized locally and globally as the only
neutral, credible source for
policy decision makers regarding the economic impact of horses and the horse
industry. As a result of its prominent status and vast network of resources,
the Center is a vital component to advance the viability and ensure the
sustainability of the horse industry and agriculture in New Jersey.
The Center’s Equine Exercise Physiology Laboratory is considered to be
the best-equipped and most active lab of its kind in the country.
Researchers utilizing the lab focus on preventive research rather than
curing clinical syndromes or diseases. One area involves the investigation
of the use of performance-altering substances in racehorses. The Center
develops tests to detect the use of illicit substances and provides expert
testimony in litigation involving the use of performance-altering
substances. This research is critical to ensure a level playing field for
all equestrian sports and the well-being of the equine athlete.
