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

ISSUE

The issue that we will raise in Help Our Delman this year is Creating a Better Life for Delman Horses Through Public Veterinary Education of Health and Horse Keeping.

OUTPUTS

This event will also create a better relation between the veterinary society and public society. The Help Our Delman event will also awaken back the public’s interest on delman as traditional transportation and recreation. The use of delman as a transportation will also decrease the polution in Bogor.

mengapa delman?

Delman masih dapat ditemukan di berbagai lokasi pada kota-kota dan daerah tertentu di Indonesia. Tetap survive di antara kendaraan bermotor yang mendominasi, angkutan tradisional ini terbukti masih mendap

Delman masih dapat ditemukan di berbagai lokasi pada kota-kota dan daerah tertentu di Indonesia. Tetap survive di antara kendaraan bermotor yang mendominasi, angkutan tradisional ini terbukti masih mendapat tempat tersendiri di hati masyarakat. What makes people still got their hearts on delman? The horse, don’t they?

We can still find delmans on many different palaces on Indonesia. They still exist among machine and vehicle that are dominating. They get style, and they get people’s heart. What makes people still get their hearts on delman? The horse, don’t they?

Kuda delman bekerja hampir 12 jam setiap harinya tanpa sekalipun duduk untuk istirahat. Secara anatomis, tubuh kuda memang dirancang untuk dapat berdiri dalam waktu lama. Bahkan, aktivitas seperti makan dan tidurpun dilakukan dalam keadaan berdiri. Selain itu, kuda merupakan hewan tipe unguligradi atau hewan yang berjalan dengan teracak (kuku). Hal ini mendukung kemampuan kuda untuk dapat berlari dengan cepat. Kuku-kuku kuda terdiri dari lapisan tanduk (keratin) yang keras sehingga mampu ditumpukan pada tanah atau aspal yang keras.

                The delman horses work almost 12 hours a day without even sit to rest once. Anatomically, their bodies were designed to be able to stand on a very long time. Even, they sleep and take meal on standing. Besides, horses are the animal which walk with hoofs. That makes horses can run so fast. The hoof formed by strong and solid stratum corneous that help horses to stand or run on asphalt.

Bentuk anatomis kuda yang khas menuntut perhatian dan pemeliharaan yang benar. Kesehatan kuda pada akhirnya akan sangat mempengaruhi kualitas jasanya untuk menarik delman. Pemahaman terhadap jenis, jumlah, cara dan waktu pemberian pakan ; pemeliharaan kebersihan kuda dan kandang ; pemahaman terhadap sifat-sifat dasar kuda  dan pemeliharaan kesehatan sangat dibutuhkan. Namun, hal ini terlihat belum diterapkan dengan baik oleh para kusir. Bukan berarti kusir tidak menyanyagi kuda delman mereka, hanya saja penghasilan yang pas-pasan dan pemahaman kusir yang sederhana membuat kuda delman dipelihara secara sederhana dan seadanya. Disinilah, kinerja kita sebagai mahasiswa dan sebagai masyarakat dibutuhkan.

                Their specific and unique anatomies demands the very specific caring and maintenance. Their healths, by the way, will influence their work and service as the delman. The good understanding to their natural behaviors and their health maintenance is quite necessary. But in truth, this matter hasn’t been applied by the coachmen yet. This doesn’t mean the coachmen don’t love their horses at all, but rather their lack of money and knowledge set it be. On this matter, our attention and help are needed.
