MALINOWSKI HONORED AS 2009 HORSEPERSON OF THE YEARNEW BRUNSWICK, NJ – February 2, 2010 -- Dr. Karyn Malinowski, director of the Equine Science Center at the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, has been named the Horseperson of the Year by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture’s Equine Advisory Board.
Malinowski was presented with the 2009 Governor's Trophy on Sunday, January 31 at the New Jersey Breeders Luncheon, an event which celebrates the state's best in the equine field.

“From an early age I knew that I wanted to work within the equine industry,” said Malinowski. “I never could have imagined that my passion for science, horses, and education would lead me to a life-long career in this industry. I am truly humbled and feel honored to receive this award.”
Not only was Malinowski honored at the banquet, she also was a presenter, along with Sandy Denarski, chair of the Rutgers University Board for Equine Advancement, of the Equine Science Center’s Spirit of the Horse award to Antoinette Nigito, the owner of Joie De Vie Farm,

Malinowski, an alumna of Rutgers, earned her Bachelor's and Master’s degrees in animal science, and a Doctorate in zoology. As a faculty member at the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, Malinowski served in various roles including animal sciences professor, interim chair of the extension specialist department and director of cooperative extension. She became the first female equine extension specialist in the United States in 1978.
“Karyn richly deserves this recognition by the New Jersey Equine Advisory Board,” said Robert M. Goodman, executive dean of Agriculture and Natural Resources. “She has devoted her professional life to equine leadership and is recognized nationally as one of the most effective educators and advocates in the area of equine health.,”
Malinowski’s research and extension programs focus on improving the well-being and the quality of life of the equine athlete while ensuring the vitality and viability of the equine industry, both statewide and nationally. She is passionate about horses and the New Jersey horse industry and has been a strong voice for its horse racing and breeding industry. She assumed the lead role in conceptualizing and building the equine science program at Rutgers University and has long been active in cultivating funding for research and extension programs from a variety of sources to sustain the Equine Science Center.
Malinowski led the industry effort which resulted in the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station receiving $1.2 million for Strategic Initiatives in 1992 from the New Jersey State Legislature.
In addition to winning this coveted Horseperson of the Year award, Malinowski has received several prestigious awards including the Outstanding Woman of Somerset County in 2009; the Rutgers Graduate School Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007; and the Outstanding Equine Educator Award from the Equine Nutrition and Physiology Society in 2001. In 1995, she became only the second woman in 50 years to receive the New York Farmers Club Award, which was given by the prestigious and venerable Northeastern Agricultural Society for her contributions to agriculture.
Dr. Malinowski has authored over 50 refereed journal articles, abstracts, and numerous book chapters. She is a member of the American Harness Drivers Club, and competes in amateur harness races. Malinowski continually participates in national volunteer organizations such as the Horses and Humans Foundation and has served as president of the American Youth Horse Council and chair of the American Horse Council’s State Horse Council Advisory Committee.
