Carey A. Williams, Ph.D. joined Rutgers University in July 2003 as its equine Extension Specialist, and the associate director of outreach with the Equine Science Center taking an active role in teaching, conducting research and working with the equine and academic communities to ensure the viability of the horse industry in New Jersey.

 

A Wisconsin native, Dr. Williams earned her doctorate degree in animal and poultry
sciences (with an emphasis on equine nutrition and exercise physiology) in June 2003 from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. She holds a master’s degree in equine nutrition, also from Virginia Tech, and a bachelor’s degree in Equine Science from Colorado State University (1998). In 2009, Dr. Williams received tenure and was promoted to Associate Professor at Rutgers University.

 

At Rutgers, Dr. Williams maintains a herd of Standardbred horses for exercise physiology research; more specifically how we can decrease the stress of intense exercise. She also works with agricultural agents within Rutgers Cooperative Extension and the Natural Resource Conservation Service to carryout equine pasture management initiatives. Dr. Williams is the Vice Chair of eXtension’s HorseQuest Community of Practice and is a member of many associations, including the American Association of Veterinary Nutritionists, the Equine Science Society and the American Society of Animal Science. Through these organizations, Dr. Williams has been awarded the Northeast Section of the American Society of Animals Science and the American Dairy Science Association’s Outstanding Young Educator award in 2007, along with Equine Science Society’s Outstanding Young Professional Award in 2009.

 

As a hobby, she events with her 12 year old Thoroughbred mare, Mickie, who was purchased from her research herd at Virginia Tech as a yearling.
