Introduction: E hui me ka Walkaloosa
Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kahi ʻano lio me kahi hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa a nani hoʻi, ʻo ka Walkaloosa wale nō ka lio nou! He kea kēia ʻano ma waena o ʻelua mau ʻano ʻAmelika aloha, ʻo Tennessee Walking Horse a me Appaloosa. Ua hoʻokumu mua ʻia lākou i ke kenekulia 20 me ka pahuhopu o ka hana ʻana i kahi lio maʻalahi a nani. A ua lanakila lākou! Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Walkaloosas no ko lākou ʻano ʻaʻahu ʻokoʻa, nā hōʻailona hōʻailona, ka neʻe ʻana o ka hele wāwae, a me ke ʻano aloha.
Nā Kiʻi Pahu: Ka Ui o nā ʻokoʻa
ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o ka Walkaloosa ʻo ko lākou ʻano lole. Hele mai kēia mau lio i nā ʻano kala like ʻole, e like me ke bay, ʻeleʻele, chestnut, a me ka hina. Akā ʻo ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale loa iā lākou ʻo kā lākou mau hiʻohiʻona ʻaʻahu ʻokoʻa, hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia mai nā kiko leopadi a hiki i nā hiʻohiʻona pale a i nā snowflakes. ʻO kekahi poʻe Walkaloosa he mau ʻūhā ma ko lākou mau wāwae, he ʻano i hoʻoili ʻia mai ko lākou mau kūpuna Appaloosa. ʻAʻohe Walkaloosa ʻelua i like ke ʻano like, e hoʻolilo iā lāua i hoʻokahi o ke ʻano.
Nā hōʻailona kū hoʻokahi: nā kiko, nā kaha, a me nā mea hou aku
Ma waho aʻe o kā lākou mau hiʻohiʻona ʻaʻahu, ʻike ʻia ʻo Walkaloosas no kā lākou mau hōʻailona kūʻokoʻa. Nui nā sclera keʻokeʻo (ka ʻāpana keʻokeʻo o ka maka), e hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa a hōʻike. He mau kaha keʻokeʻo nō kekahi ma ko lākou mau helehelena a me nā wāwae, hiki ke ʻokoʻa mai ke ahi maʻalahi a i nā ʻano kikoʻī. A ʻoiaʻiʻo, he nui nā Walkaloosa i loaʻa nā kiko kikoʻī o ka ʻano Appaloosa, hiki ke uhi i ko lākou kino holoʻokoʻa a i ʻole ke kau ʻia ma kekahi mau wahi. Hāʻawi kēia mau hōʻailona iā Walkaloosas i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani a poina ʻole.
ʻO ka neʻe ʻana o ka hele ʻana: He holo mālie a me ka nani
ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa o ka Walkaloosa, ʻo ia ko lākou neʻe ʻana. Ua hoʻoili ʻia kēia mau lio i ka holo mālie a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻole o ka Tennessee Walking Horse, kahi e hauʻoli ai lākou e holo no nā wahi lōʻihi. Ua kapa ʻia kēia ʻano he "holo holo" a he ʻehā-beat gait e hāʻawi ai i ka holo mālie a ʻoluʻolu. Hiki i nā Walkaloosas ke hana i nā hele wāwae ʻē aʻe, e like me ka canter a me ka gallop, e hoʻolilo iā lākou i lio holo ʻokoʻa.
ʻO ke ʻano: He hoa aloha a me nā ʻano like ʻole
Ma waho aʻe o ko lākou hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi a me ka hele mālie, ʻike ʻia ʻo Walkaloosas no ko lākou ʻano aloha a mālie. He mau lio akamai a makemake lakou e hooluolu i ka poe nona. He mau lio akamai nō hoʻi lākou, hiki iā lākou ke lanakila ma nā ʻano aʻoaʻo like ʻole, mai ke ala hele a hiki i ka lole. Hana ʻo Walkaloosas i nā lio ʻohana maikaʻi, no ka mea, hoʻomanawanui a mālie lākou i nā keiki a me nā mea holo hou. Hoʻokumu lākou i nā paʻa paʻa me ko lākou mau mea nona a ʻike ʻia no ko lākou kūpaʻa a me ke aloha.
Ka hopena: No ke aha e kū ai nā Walkaloosas
I ka hopena, he ʻano ʻokoʻa a nani ʻo Walkaloosas e kū nei no ko lākou mau hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi koʻikoʻi, nā hōʻailona ʻokoʻa, a me ka neʻe ʻana o ka hele ʻana. He mau lio maʻalahi a aloha lākou e lilo i mau hoa maikaʻi no nā mea holo o nā pae āpau. Inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i ka lio e holo ai ma nā alahele a i ʻole ma ke apo hōʻikeʻike, ʻo ka Walkaloosa kahi ʻano pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia. Me ko lākou nani, nani, a me ko lākou ʻano, ʻoiaʻiʻo lākou e ʻaihue i kou puʻuwai.
