ings and recommendations, should
they be questioned.
With the aid of drawings and the
video tape. Dr. Edelson showed
what a fertilized egg looked like,
what a tumor looked like and also
showed how to abort unwanted
eggs using the ultrasound.
He said he recommended its use
at least twice during a pregnancy.
And he cautioned that the cost of
using ultrasounds for pregnancy
detection is costly, but that it is vit
al to breeding expensive horses
which may be worth tens of thou
sands of dollars, to protect the
large investments people make
into breeding top quality racing
horses and other high quality
breeds.
Using a live pregnant mare.
Edelson peformed an ultrasound
for the group, showing the deve
loping embryo.
On breeding, Edelson also told
the group that horses, although
seasonal breeders, can be induced
to come into a breeding period
through the use of light therapy.
He said that after the horse
becomes anestrus for the year, they
can be brought into heat by bring

half hour before the sun goes
down. The lights should be on a
timer and have to have a minimum
power of 200 foot candles.
According to Edelson, horses
reproductive cycles are driven by
the peneal gland, which is located
behind the eyes, close to the pituat
ary gland.
Adequate light strength and
duration of 16 hours-per-day,
every day, for 60 days, is needed to
get the horse to start cycling, he
said.
Any mistakes during the 60 days
will nullify the entire process.
He said, however, that research
is being pursued on findings that a
single bright blast of light can do
the same thing, though much more
work needs to be done with that
before any recommendations
could possibly be made.
Members and officers helped
teach about hitching and judging,
using a variety of equipment and
horses.
The members also held a ban
quet during the evening.
The association held its first
clinic in 1979 in State College and
had 80 members. The growth of
the association now numbers more
