Creating
a Better Life for Delman Horses Through
Public
Veterinary Education of Health and Horse Keeping
BACKGROUND
In the present day we
can still find traditional transportation such as delman (horse-drawn carriage), but lately delmans have not yet received enough attention from the government.
Not only being considered as a cause of traffic jam, delmans are also known to soil and damage the traffic road. The
government’s restriction for delmans
to operate decreases the horsemen’s daily income, meanwhile the basic needs of
the horsemen and their family must be fullfilled.
The relatively low
income and lack of knowledge of horsemen cause the horses to be under a poor
care. This does not mean the lack of love from the horsemen, but the lack of
medical knowledge about horse. The horsemen are still unfamiliar about the
proper type, frequency, and techniques of feed suitable for the horse. Proper
health maintenance of the horse is also still unknown. These are the purposes
that become the foundation of Help Our Delman 2012.
OBJECTIVES
The objectives of Help
Our Delman 2012 are:
1. To
educate horsemen on how to care for their horses in the most proper and
responsible way. This includes on how to be a passionate horse owner,
understand basic horse health maintenance, feed, sanitize stable, groom the
horse, know the importance of veterinarian, and know the right emergency
treatment
2. To
raise awareness of the society on horse health and welfare
3. To
increase the knowledge on veterinary medicine student about practical skills on
horse management and also the social skills to communicate with the society as
future clients
4. To
facilitate animal lovers, especially horse lovers, and also organizations that operate
in the welfare of companion animals to share thoughts and ideas
5. To
facilitate companies that operate in companion animals especially horses to
introduce their products
